Newest DirectX Upgrade Only For Windows 8 Systems
Published on January 01, 0001
And so the inevitable march of
Windows moves onward: DirectX, the software that Windows computers rely on to make games run, is getting an upgrade—but only for Windows 8. A Microsoft employee
confirmed in a (tech-heavy) post to developers that “there is no plan
for DirectX 11.1 to be made available on Windows 7.” Windows 8 systems, meanwhile, are getting the 11.1 version of DirectX. The only significant difference to end-users between version 11.0 and 11.1 at this time is that the newer version includes native stereoscopic 3D support. Very few users of Windows 7 gaming PCs and pxj เข้าสู่ระบบ DirectX 11 will miss the addition.
