  • Direct X which is best

    I have a Windos vista home basic service pack 1.

    Processor intel r core tm2 quad cpu q6600 @ 2.40hz 2.40ghz

    64bit operating system

    4 gb of ram and a nvidia geforce gtx 280

    i can't seem to run css in direct x 10 i asked someone in game and they said it's not possible is that true?

    also they told me i should run it in dx9 instead. Now we all no that if you lower the settings it helps alot i put my video options on the lowest setting and i have been playin on direct x 8. I noticed a big difference in performance it's ashame you can get a good cpu and you still have to lower settings but whatever. But i was just wondering with my system specs what is the best direct x to put it under and under launch game options should i put -heapsize 1572864 for 3gb ram. I have 4 but i was told "4GB Settings crash steam "
    If there is a way to run css in direct x 10 please let me no i heard the lauch command was -dxlevel 95 but that doesn't seem to work.
    Please let me no. thx
    Ps i have a gateway monitor that allows 1680 by 1050 what video resolution should i set it to for best performance. Is it the higher the better or lower thx.

    None of the Source games, new or old, actually make use of DirectX 10 yet. Right now, the highest setting you can use in a Source engine title is -dxlevel 95. It's just DX9 with more of the graphical perks turned on.

    DX10 probably won't be in use by any Source engine title for a while to come. So we're stuck with DX9 use right now.
