What is the differance between the differant releases of directx 9? (DirectX 9.0, 9.0a, 9.0b)
i think just some slight fixes/tweaks/performance improvements. I don't have a answer more specific than that. I'm sure it might say if your search at microsoft somewhere....might take a day or two though...;) :D
Ahhh WTH, I downloaded 'b' anyway. Can't hurt too much:D
yeah, i have 9.0b and don't have any problems. :p
yeah now that I look back at my futuremark benchies I realized I'd had it too before the last reformat. shows how much I pay attention. and btw to answer my own question, MS says: DirectX 9.0b increases performance, and security to your Windows machine. I guess I shouldn't have expected much detail from them.
9.0b was in response to possible vulnerability in dx noted after the msblast attack.
