Pcsx2 0.9.6 in Vista

benhanks040888 · July 3rd, 2009

I just installed Vista (32 bit), and have installed Service Pack 1 for Vista plus VGA and mobo drivers.

I read somewhere that PCSX2 performs better with DirectX10, but so far with Rogue Galaxy and Valkyrie Profile 2, I didn't notice a significant improvement. Can anyone confirm that DX10 is better than DX9 for PCSX2.

Oh, one more thing, I tried to run PCSX2 0.9.6 (but i think a slightly older version one) and Playground version, and it tells me to update my directX. My question, I have Vista, which have DX10, so do I need to install DX9, because I read that PCSX2 0.9.6 require DX9 to run?

And, sometimes while using the working version (the latest beta), if I chose to use the gsdx10 plugin, the game can run (despite unimproved speed compared to DX9), but if i used the gsdx9 plugin (i think the latest one too) where we can choose to use DX10 renderer, when i run the game, pcsx2 will crash, producing a generic vista error "PCSX2 has stopped working" . What is that?

thanks for the answer... oh yeah, can someone tell me games that do perform better using Vista?

Yeah, dx10 mode is better overall. You get more speed in many games + improved precision that avoids flashing textures/geometry.

DirectX still needs to be updated regularly, no matter if its 10 or 9.
