    Hello all,

    I've search the forums, but couldn't find a clear answer. Which minimal version of DirectX the GPU has to support to run Planetary Annihilation? I have a ATI/AMD HD4770 (DirectX 10.1) and was wondering if it was enough to play the game?

    Nevermind, I've found the answer myself. Planetary Annihilation requires OpenGL 3.0 support (quote from SXX) and the Ati 4770 HD supports OpenGL 3.2. It should work :).
    SXX, BulletMagnet and smallcpu like this.

    When i installed the game there was something written about dx 9.1

    So which dx version will be supported from the game?

    DirectX is still needed for something (if memory serves correctly, it's for the UI).

    Unrelated note, having the initiative to do research and problem solve. <3

    Don't know whether anything has changed in the intervening period
    (This was from early Alpha...), but Garat provided this link for
    DirectX runtime stuff. As far as I know, you don't require a full
    install of DirectX, just one or two of the files this download will give
    you. This may change in future patches.

    The third part webkit based UI we use, Coherent, relies on one of the libraries from directX 9. If you run the latest dxsetup from Microsoft, you should be good to go.

    I'm cheating, I'm a computer science engineer ;). I'm used to solve many computer problems myself :).
