    Hey guys,

    I am playing Witcher 2 on my 7970m and I am running MSI Afterburner (no OC) to monitor the temps and fps. One of the monitoring displays up top says "D3D9: xx fps" (xx=whatever fps at the time). But my question is the D3D9 part. Does that mean this game is not running on dx11 but dx 9? Just confused. Thanks!

    PS.

    What kind of performance are you guys getting on your card?

    The game is purely DX9.

    Yup that's normal, it's not a dx 11 title.
