DirectX 11 Video Card Discussion

sorry for double posting but... 64 bit os's had problems with drivers mainly back when 64 bit XP was pretty much experimental. With Vista having a solid 64 bit OS and now windows 7 also having a 64 bit option, most driver manufacturers are pretty good with having 64 bit drivers.

The problem you run into is with older hardware that was made back when there were only 32 bit OS's to design around.

Newer name brand devices will most likely have a 64 bit driver available for download or should come with it on the driver cd included at time of purchase/install.

yeah all my hardware is new/fairly new.. thanks a lot!

You can't upgrade from x32 to x64 without formatting.

Kinda true. I went from windows xp 32bit to windows 7 64bit. It kept all my old shit in a folder called "windows.old". Alot of the programmes still work from that folder.

Oh yea my bad, you're right. I guess no format required.
