Direct X 8.1 Final Released

[Omega]

As I mentioned in the HardwarePub news, the DirectX 8.1 final release is out.  I don't have the links on me, but they're right on the front page of HardwarePub if you want, otherwise it's available at Windows Update easily.

I'm downloading it as I write this, and I'll let you know how performance is.  I made sure to benchmark in Q3:TA right before downloading.

Well, I actually did this many days ago, but I forgot to post the results.

I installed DirectX 8.1 (on my Windows 2000 computer, the specifications of which can be seen in the General board) and experienced a 0.5 fps increase in Q3:TA.

I haven't noticed any change in stability.

Feel free to post your own experiences.
