    Direct x 7a your thoughts

    Hi Folks,

    Is anybody out there using direct x 7a with their G400, if so I would be interested in any problems you may be having as Iam considering upgrading from Direct x 6.
    Many thanks.

    Dave.

      I did the Dx update from 7 to 7a and haven't had any problems so far. (Might be starting to knock wood again )

      What corruptions I do have once in a while is more of a heat/OC'ing the G400 problem, but not drivers as of yet.

      Jorden.

          Just make sure you have Powerdesk 5.52 and let 'er rip for a very nice performance boost.

              I'm using Dx7 - stayed away from Dx7a as when it first came out, people reported issues.

              Is it worth the upgrade from 7 to 7a?

                Thanks CK for your input.
                AMH; Is it worth the upgrade?, well microsoft claim they have improved force feedback with 7a and High_ Jumbllama speaks of a performance boost. Could be worth a try.
                Incidentally should for whatever reason the upgrade goes belly up , how does one uninstall Direct x and reinstall the previous version used, I suspect its not as easy as reinstalling over the top.
                Thank you all for your thoughts.

                Cheers

                  If it's only force-feedback, I'll pass. Don't use it.

                  I don't know that you can go from 7a to 7 or to 6, for that matter.

                  Take a backup before you upgrade, that's my advice...
