I built a new system last week.
One problem I have noticed since installing x86 version of MS Vista Ultimate is that the OS seems to think that my computer cannot handle gaming. My graphics score is 1.9, and 3D Graphics scores 1.0 while everything else gets a 5.9(max score). I have tested several graphical applications on my computer and have absolutely no problem running everything on max graphical settings. When I try to run 3DMark Venture, I get a message saying my computer cannot support DirectX 10, which comes as a shocker, considering DirectX 10.1 is installed and running on my system. I have not been able to find a driver for my video card, outside from the one that came on the cd, including on the manufacturer's website, leading me to wonder if my driver is an engineers version rather than production version. Other than that I cannot think of any reason that I am having this problem. Does anyone else have any ideas on this?
