what version of directX api the game is using, while it's running?


Recommended Posts

I remember reading somewhere about being able to look up a tasks' dependencies and finding out what direct 3d module it's using - or something like that. Is there any way to figure this out? I mean I know what version of directx that I'm running, and what version my O.S is using, but I need to know what version certain games are using. Say, something like vice city - we all know that uses directx 8. All newer games use dx9, some use 10 or 11. I need to know what version the game is using, while it's running.

Use Process Explorer > View > Lower Pane View > DLLs. Run your game, switch back to Process Explorer, look which libraries it has loaded.

Some games have multiple renderer support, though.

Another way is, of course, searching the internets.
