Vista - dx10.1

Is dx10.1 able to be used on an 8 series card. I have an 8800gts 512 but dxdiag tells me i have dx10 even after installing sp1. I have read that dx10 cards can use dx10.1 but if its not showing up in dxdiag then am i missing something?

last i checked it was only ati 3000 series cards that supported it but i think the new 9000 series nvidia cards will do support for it but not sure.

maybe someone knows something else

I have an 8 series card too, we will have to live without 10.1. The 9 series can do 10.1.

Sorry, but i know for a fact no nvidia card on the market atm supports DX10.1, only the ATI 3 series supports it. But it doesnt really matter anyway, one of the first games which supported (assassins creed), which when it first came out supported 10.1, but they removed it and nearly no other game on the market uses it, so dont worry.

Revogame is correct and I agree with his comment completely.

I bet 10.2 or 11 will be out before many games support 10.1.

I'm so glad to hear that my card isn't totally obsolete just yet.

It is only obsolete when it no longer runs your software properly.

I know what you mean. I was making a hardware joke. Like how fast things go into the yestertech realm.

Thats funny...I installed VistaX32 on a Pentium D 6Ghz, 2gb DDR2-533 Ram, 7600GT Nvidia GPU and it runs it way better than most of my comps
