    Is there any DirectX 10.1 out? When I read the threads, it says that it is inbuilt in SP1. But I have installed SP1 and after SP2, and I still see Direct X 10 only. So whats the deal? From where can I get it? Also any improvements over gaming?

    Yes, it answers everything. :confused: You have it already if you have SP1/SP2 (though it'll still show as DX 10).

    Ok. As when I run dxdiag, it only shows Directx 10. But when I was surfing, I saw someone's screenshot showing 10.1 that why I was confused!!

    Errrr....then I might be wrong. I said that because I have SP1 on many systems, and each one of them shows DX 10.

    Can anyone else confirm?

    You need an ATI card for it to show don't you? Nvidia doesn't support it.

    Here's the benefits

    If Nvidia cannot even show 10.1 then what gonna Intel integrated graphics show? Dx 8.1 or 9 instead of 10 as Intel are not DX 10 cards. In my view, it must show 10.1 but not use features of 10.1.
