Argh... Nvidiafx card hates me...

I can't get my brand new shiney GeForce FX 5700LE to run in DX9 CS:S [or any Source game for that matter]...
I think the back of the box lied.

Is there anyway to manually change some setting somewhere to turn this up to DX 9?

Please!?1/?1 MY CARDS SHINEY! IT CANT NOT RUN IN DX9! !!! :x

I dont think you would want to.

You got a 5700LE and you wanted to run DX9 mode off that :lol:

If you forced it to directx 9 it would rape your FPS.

... ooookay
Thanks for the help...

But suppose I was a complete idiot. How would I go about forcing it on?

I did about 5 searches, but apparently I wasn't searching for the right thing.

:afro:

Pfft... I can run it in dx8 with settings maxed out at 1024x780 [or whatever it is] and still get 40 fps... This really isnt worth it.
