DirectX diagnostics results after upgrade to new ATI video card
udidwht
Radeon 4670 512mb DDR3. The upgrade and installation of the new card went
flawlessly. What I did however notice was that when I run DirectX diagnostics
with the new ATI card I end up with these results:
All of the sound, music, input etc...tests passed. Only the Direct draw and
D3D 7, 8 and 9 test results show failure. When I run the bouncing ball full
screen test the monitor goes black and says 'No video signal'. A few seconds
later windows reappears with the dialog box asking 'Did you see the bouncing
ball full screen. I select no. The same results occur when I try to run the
tests for the spinning DirectX logos for 7, 8 and 9. All other tests pass.
