Ok, I am wondering which DirectX version is better. I have DirectX 9.0c, and I also want to get a new video card that is compatible with DirectX. Now my question is, is 9.0b or 9.0c better?

- If you’ve got one or two games that you _ **absolutely cannot live without** _, you could visit the publishers’ support forums, and look around to see if anyone seems to be having problems with the latest DirectX release. -Or the _previous_ DirectX release…
