Hi,

i have a xfx 9400gt pice card on my windows xp machine.

i have installed the drivers properly but the DXDIAG shows directx 9.0b and i am not able to play any of the new games.(like i tried NFS shift and other latest)

Please anybody help...

The latest is the DirectX 9.0c which has to be updated on Windows XP adn the same you can download from here - DirectX 9.0 SDK

how does the above link help me ?

i have a latest directx setup with me and i tried it so many times...but still this dxdiag shows 9.0b only !!!

this is why i am not able to play any new games...

everytime when i launch a game it says." your graphics card is not directx 9.0 compatible "(even though i have xfx 9400gt pcie)

Please clarify !!!!

Have you installed the latest driver for your video card? How old is it? Download Everest and open computer>sensor and post the GPU temp and the GPU ambient temp.
