honeybadger Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 What GPU and what driver version are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divine_Rainor Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) What GPU and what driver version are you using? I'm using intel graphics media accelerator HD and my driver version is 8.15.10.2025 ( at least thats what me direct X diagonostics says) Edited March 26, 2013 by Divine_Rainor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapricaSix Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Intel GMA series are onboard GPUs, they aren't really built for gaming, so it's safe to assume it doesn't support DX11, I think only the newest ones do but I'm not too sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeybadger Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Oh jesus. Even if Intel HD DOES support DX11, I wouldn't run it. It looks like it doesnt support it since its greyed out. I havent seen screen shot differences but generally more DX means more pretty. Are you on a laptop? If not, I would suggest buying a dedicated GPU for gaming.

Divine_Rainor Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 I Yes I am on a laptop, but when I enter my Dxdiag it says that I am using DirectX11, the main thing is will it make the game run smoother? (im pretty laggy at times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(im pretty laggy at times) If anything DX11 will make it run worse. There is probably very little you can do to increase your FPS by much. Of course first steps are turning all graphical knobs to their minimum (including resolution -- the largest strain on a GPU) Edited March 26, 2013 by honeybadger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divine_Rainor Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 okay thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiki05 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yeah, your dxdiag will show that you installed directx11 but that doesn't mean your GPU is capable of running said directx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloCreep Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Im pretty sure the highest DirectX your laptop uses is DX10.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeybadger Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Im pretty sure the highest DirectX your laptop uses is DX10.1. How do you know that with no laptop model number or even intel HD model number....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
