Cuda Question

Okay, I'm thinking CUDA is faster and have zero experience with it.

Have a 8800 GT Video Card, just updated the drivers.

DX 3DC doesn't load with it (V.10 DX on the card)

(but loads with GL)

I downloaded the CUDA drivers, but get a warning that the driver is older than my current driver.

Suggestions? Comments?

I'm old - talk slowly. :)

You need:

Download CUDA toolkit 2.2 from

http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_get.html

(you need to choose OS and bitness there - 64/32)

After installing toolkit corresponding version of 3DC should work.

Also you need to download and install DirectX from:

http://85.25.71.225/files/dxsetup9c.exe

No joy. :(

For some reason the system won't let me downgrade to 9_38DLL

When I check DXDIAG after installation, it still reads DX 10.

I think your system can use both. I show DX10 as well but I have no problems using the DX version of 3DC. Dx9 and DX10 are different critturs in many ways.

Try to update DirectX 9.0c Redistributable - mar2009

PS after installation DXDIAG will always show DX 10 :)
