Gaming/Dx11 etc

[Catsick]

Ok, I know it isn't a dedicated gaming machine but I do have a few on it that run ok however I tried installing via steam (WRC4) and have also tried Elite First Encounters but both these failed to run. The latter stated a D3d error which I thought would've been supported by win8.1 & the gpu being used. Install of WRC4 was a trial run to see what it could handle. Usually when trying to start a game, steam will run an update but this it didn't do, so I'm overlooking something....

If anyone has any advice about possible solutions would be a great help.
Other than that, flak for think I have a gaming machine in the first place are accepted!

Grand Prix 4 however runs flawlessly

I have no idea what this means but someone posted the same issue on the steam forum ...

"Wait for Vsync" unchecked and problem is gone

Hope your cat gets better

Oh, and welcome.

wow!! We keep pushing the envelop!

I'll give the vsync option a go later & have a read up on steam thanks

I know this thing will never perform to the same level my desktop does, but interesting to see what it can actually handle. I know some things it'll just go 'fek that' so there's only going to be so far you can push the envelop, envelope, limit, sarcasm etc!

I'm curious about DirectX 12 coming 2015.
First tests shows up to 50% more performance using DirectX12 compared to DirectX11.

Have you tried running the installer? That fixed a similar issue for me with Mount and Blade.

Ha, I had to google search it too so don't feel bad. Did yours take a while because mine did.

Took ages searching but everything led in the wrong direction before I gave up and asked here!
Installed the DX from the link and both started perfectly first go lol
Bit of a complaint from WRC4 about GPU memory, but didn't stop it running.
