I cant seem to get Direct X 10.1 on my system, it says i have version 10 with software version 11(I understand that having version 11 installed does not mean can use it).

As far as i know the ATI Radeon HD 3000 supports Direct X 10.1, however mine is intergrated/onboard and i am not sure if there are different versions, this one being the one that doe not support Direct X 10.1.

Can someone help me out here please?

Thank You.

You have it, but with that anemic IGP, you'd never know the difference.

Thanks for the reply, So the 3000 is just an IGP and 'should' support it? because BF3 doesn't seem to think so neither does dxdiag. :/i'm running Windows 8 Pro 64bit atm but it was the same for Windows 7 if that helps?btw I sure that BF3 wont run well on this IGP(especially with Win8) its just a proof of concept.

DirectX 10.1 shipped with Windows Vista and is incorporated into DirectX 11

I understand that i have the 10.1 'Software' with Dx11 but my hardware doesn't seem to be able to use it. Bf3 says that my IGP only supports 10.0(and because its ATi it needs 10.1) and Dxdiag says Feature Levels: 10.0(or DDI: 10 in Win7) which if i'm right is the version that my IGP can use?. But it's supposed to support 10.1.

The fastest way to find out is to borrow a copy of Stalker Clear Sky or Call of Pripyat. If the DX10.1 option is visible in their settings, then you have it. Otherwise not.

Some system diagnostics utilities like AIDA64 might also show what your card is capable of.

Thanks Eydee, i used AIDA64 like you suggested and it turns out that my so called 3000's GPU is in fact a 3100 and it does not support Dx10.1. So i guess im buying a new GPU, not that i needed this to persuade me. Anyway thanks for the help guys.
