I'm reading about WARP 10 & 11 on a few different sites. What's not clear, so far, is if this is better to try than 3D Analyze? The claims seem potentially helpful for certain games - and it says WARP 11 is also for Windows Vista. Reading that it's possible to play Crysis with this - but Blue Mars has higher specs (it uses the CryEngine also).
Upgrading to Windows 7: Would this change the internal integrated graphics limitation somehow? Someone said - or rather wrote (and I've requested clarification) - that upgrading to 7 would possibly help in this regard. He said in Vista that I can only run one graphics driver. And that it's possible to run an Nvidia card with a Nvidia internal graphics - or an ATI card with ATI graphics.This was related to the Vidock question and the Expresscard slot issue. But if my laptop has Intel integrated graphics there's not an option compatible with my system under Vista. That I need Windows 7 for that to work. Just the way he worded it I wasn't sure if he meant the Intel graphics would always be an issue. Or if the upgrade to 7 would fix that. It's the part about the driver. Because it sounds like Windows 7 might open some doors there? Re: the one driver only situation. Still might be more reasonable, cost-wise, to get a new computer. But understanding this could still help a lot. ~~~~~~~~ On Sep 15, 11:56 pm, AngelicTears <[email protected]> wrote: > yup, jeremy's right... > > nonetheless, we still can use dx 10 or even dx 11 rendering via > DirectX WARP...(software renderer from M$) > > On Sep 16, 2:01 pm, Jeremy Shaw <[email protected]> wrote: > > > We don't have directx10. > > > DirectX 10 needs Unified shaders, which the gma 950 lacks. > > > It may show it installed (windows 7 shows directx 11!), but in dxdiag (run > > command), the display tab will show only DX9Ex is usable. > > > On Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 8:35 PM, Miri <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > I think I was just misunderstanding what that particular instruction > > > meant - or rather thought it might mean something that it does not. > > > But I think I got the meaning intended by the instructions.
