The problem is now fixed! I'm not sure how it got fixed, but after I wus messin around in RivaTuner and restarted my pc, I can now run CoH in DX10! But you guys were right about DX9 being ALOT faster than DX10. I must have been mistakin about getting 40fps in DX10 bc I just ran it w/o overclocking and got about 10-15fps while getting about 30-35fps in DX9. But then I overclocked the GPUs again and now get about 20-30fps in DX10 med-high settings and 60fps in DX9. Just thought I would share that information.
But I have seen a drop in performance too, leading me to believe that my GPUs are not running correctly. It doesn't matter whether or not I should use DX9 over DX10. If DX10 isn't an option on the video settings in a game, then that should tell you that something is wrong, and that is why I am here, to figure out what is wrong.
I have Vista and I dont have a problem NOT overclocking, aslong as I can run games in DX10 if I want. Before I overclocked my GPUs I could run games in DX10 and I got around 40fps playing Company of Heroes on med-high settings if I remember correctly. I have a Core2Duo @ 2.00 Ghz and 2GB RAM along with SLI 8700M GPUs, but I want to run games in DX10, and I know some of you are telling me not to do that, but I still want to be able to.
I have a laptop with SLI 8700s and they seemed to work fine, up until I installed RivaTuner and overclocked them, which was some time ago. Now when I'm playin a game and try to enable DX10, it isn't available, plus the game performance seems to be less than it was previoulsy. I have heard something about these cards being recognized as 7900s instead, does anyone know how I can deal with this problem? I have tried undoing all the overclocking but that didn't work.
