Directx 9e or Directx 12?

[joneslaw]

Hi! I think I am having a problem with my Directx version with the display on MSI Afterburner. When I use monitoring on screen displays for Dota 2, the directx version showed is "D3D9E", as shown in the link here: http://....The problem is that my Directx version, according to the DxDiag Tool is version 12, as shown here: http://...Am I missing something, like settings or anything else?

By the way, I am using an APU as my "processor and graphic"s system and here are my specs:
-Processor: AMD A8-7600 3.10-3.80GHz 4-Core Processor
-Motherboard: MSI A68HM-E33 A68 Chipset
-RAM: Kingston Hyper X Fury 8GB (2x4gb) Dual Channel DDR3 @ 1866 MHz
-Storage: Seagate 1TB 7200 RPM
-Casing: XIGMATEK ARES 1702
-Power Supply: XIGMATEK XCP-A500 500WATTS 80 PLUS

you have more than one version of directx installed. they are not interchangable so a game written in dx 9 uses that and one written for dx 11 uses that one and a new one for dx 12 will use that version. they are all different.

so you're seeing the dx version DOTA 2 was written in but dxdiag is showing the newest version installed. perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.
