Dxdiag incorrectly reports DirectX 11 devices as DDI 10.1 when using Win 7

FordGT90Concept · May 13, 2010

Most definitely. After the bug was discovered, AMD/NVIDIA may have made changes to their drivers to make sure DDI is ignored. Two fixes usually means it is broken. XD

Mussels · May 13, 2010

that could likely be whats going on then.

drivers originally checked DDI before reporting to games, but they're trying to work around MS's fuck up. Since those fixes vary between drivers, different drivers report different results.

When reporting problems/fixes from now on, please post driver revision and GPU.

Displaying as 10.1 with CCC 10.4 in Win7 64 using a Powercolor PCS+ 5870 (revised info in accordance with Mussels' request).

Just finished Metro 2033 and as far as I'm aware there were no problems - the game looked amazing and I was able to set it to DirectX 11 in the in-game control panel. However, the game probably looks great in DirectX 10.1 as well, so how am I to know whether or not this issue was causing any problems? I have not installed Dirt 2 yet (it came free with the card). I'll let you know if I encounter any obvious problems, but I am not sure what I should be looking for and even if I encountered something, how could I attribute it to this issue with certainty.

if the game has no options for DX11, thats a good start.
Crusaders didnt allow him to select DX11.

one person (single GPU) had a performance increase
one person (multi GPU) had one particular game on one particular setting bug out
one person can now use DX11 when he couldnt before.

we're getting quite a mixed bag from this hotfix... i wonder if its related to the drivers people are using.

Yeah I tried asking him what his DDI settings read (even ask for a pic) and he became a tad belligerent about it. IMO, I honestly don't think he checked once the HF was applied after reading his posts. He only wants to refer to his earlier post when asked :confused:

.

Their could be a connection between the DDI and Cat driver. I wish we had an ATI rep here that could tell us.

Yeah, keep abusing your moderator power, that's why I said a fanboy shouldn't be placed as a moderator. I don't mind if that gets me banned or something, I'm doing what I think is right.

14 day ban given.

after he continued via PM's, i gave him a permabans. Will cleanse the last page of the thread now - his previous stuff had replies (some of it useful) so i wont clean that up.

EastCoasthandle · May 14, 2010

In any case just to reiterate, if you install this hotfix (HF) you should be able to uninstall and revert back to your previous dxdiag version if there are any problems. The few people that have used it haven't had problems like that.

1. If you are having problems getting DDI 11 and you know you downloaded the 32bit version for your 32bit OS, read the OP for instructions. Look for KB975243 in the "Uninstall a Program" then go to "View Installed Updates".
2. If you have a 64bit OS make sure you use the 64bit version of IE to download the file. One person states that even if you choose the 64bit version you he still got the 32bit version because he was using IE 32bit

Mussels · May 14, 2010

The point is, this thread is here for people suffering the DDI 10.1 bug - whatever symptoms may appear, we want to have fixes here.

If some people have DDI 10.1 and no problems? good for them - we're here for the ones who DO have problems, and need help fixing it.

Mussels · May 21, 2010

update: got my 5870 today.

I've got the DDI 10.1 bug, however i DO have full access to DX11 in games. It should be noted i am on the catalyst 10.4a beta drivers (newer than 10.4 final)

oh and stalker CoP runs soooo much better in DX11... i can max it out on my 5870, whereas i couldnt max DX10 on my 4870's

ComradeSader · May 24, 2010

Oh so preview = beta? I've been on these on these for a month or so I think.. DX11 worked up until I restarted the computer.
