Joe, Re: "Would you care to quantify this, meaning how many games have been released so far that use Direct 7, 8 and 9? We know that the count for DirectX 9 is 0. In reality, most Window games out there were written for versions of DirectX below version 7." DirectX is backward compatible with those games, and in fact it runs them better. Each new version of DirectX is filled with enhancements that allow your video adapter to render images using more advanced features. Many of these enhancements are performance related. Benchmarking under an older version of DirectX is therefore an "uncommon case", since everyone is forced to upgrade DirectX to the newest version every time a new game comes out that uses the next version. wbmw
