Hi everybody, I have a question as the title.

Just got a new rig with core i5 750 paired with my old video card geforce6200TC, windows 7 pro 64

When I use DX10 software, the emulator said gs init fails. DX9 is fine.
I dont think this is from your video card,but from dx10 itself,did you install dx10 properly?
Your card doesn't support DX10, you have to use a Direct3D9 renderer in GSdx and in fact with that card you might want to use the Software renderer in case hardware is too slow.

I have installed the DX redistribute package Feb-2010 from MS website, I think it come with DX10. I think if there are no required DX DLLs, the emulator will pop an message box for warning.

Yeah, I knew. So I tried DX10 software mode, and it refused to run, DX9 software is ok (and great, full speed with FFX, FFX-2, FFXII)

It even didn't tell me anything about the error, maybe it is an undocumented error, Laugh.
I will try to upload a screenshot later.

So I suspected that even in DX10 software mode, I have to use an DX10 video card. Am I right?
As far as I remember it should have worked but anyway there shouldn't be a difference between software modes so it's not like you're missing out.
So all software modes match in term of performance, yeah, it makes sense.
Thank you, shadow lady.
