    Hi, I have an Asus G1s-X1.

    I've installed Bioshock and I want to know if it's running in directx9 or 10.

    When the side lights are activated it doesn't stay a constant green that is supposed to be of a direct x 10 game. Also in the game I am unable to enable directx10 surfaces. Any help would be appreciated.

    Which version of windows are you running? XP will not run DX10 games.

    Wich drivers are you using?

    I'll be able to check soon but something strange is happening to me. System REQ Lab says my 8600 is PS3_0 while it's 4.0 (dx10)
