As we all know, it is a little terrifying to install new pieces of "software" from the state of Washington, so I was wandering what kond of performance are you guys seeing with DX8 and GPL, and other racing titles? Thanks for any insight. Domi

I've been using DX8 for a couple of months now (various beta copies and now the full release) and GPL works the same as it always did on my machine. None of the flight sims or racing games on my computer were adversely affected by Dx8. On the other hand I haven't seen much in the way of improvement in them either since none of them were written to use DX8's new features. If you're concerned about DX8 hoseing your system thenwait until something comes along that you absolutely *must* have that requires DX8 installed. By that time any issues with it ought to be revealed and dealt with (hopefully! ) David

No difference from DX7.0a on Win2K Pro. Maybe slightly more stable but I haven't had as much "track time" as I would like lately :-) SB. -- --------------- return e-mail address invalid reply to me in the newsgroup --------------- "Domagoj Malovic" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8utkek$896m$[email hidden]... > As we all know, it is a little terrifying to install new pieces of > "software" from the state of Washington, so I was wandering what kond > of performance are you guys seeing with DX8 and GPL, and other racing > titles? > > Thanks for any insight. > > Domi > >

Just fine with me, haven't had a problem with any games, in fact Toca2 used to give me fits with FSAA on using my GeForce 2 GTS 64 meg card, but now runs smooth! I'm not sure if that's a product of Dx8 or the 7.17 drivers however? Jay J Domagoj Malovic <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8utkek$896m$[email hidden]...
