  • DirectX?

    Can someone please explain to me what exaktly directX is?
    I know that different games requiers different versions of this and that i can't manage my gaming without it, but WTF is it??

    Some sort of patch to make the os compatible with the game or what? :?:

    The newest games like mafia etc requiers the 8.1 version.
    And that version has been around for some time know...

    I'm working from recollection here, so hopefully I don't screw this up too badly... ;)

    DirectX is an API that allows for manufacturers of games to easily have compatibility with as wide a variety of hardware as possible. Since the game makers only have to create coding that can communicate with DirectX, they don't have to create a separate code for each possible video/sound card on the market.

    Hardware manufacturers will also go by this standard as it will ensure that their product will be compatible with a vast majority of games available.

    Hope this clears it up a little bit for you.
