Default Which version of Direct X?

Probably a very dumb question, but how do I know if I am using DX10 or DX9? Where do I check? I assume I am using DX10 but I just don't know how to verify this.

Thanks in advance.

[window]
DepthBits =24
StencilBits=8
DrawIfNotFocused=0
SaveAspect=0
Render=D3D10_0 <-------------DX10
width=1680
height=1050
ColourBits=32
FullScreen=1
ChangeScreenRes=1

this is from the config.ini in the 1C softclub folder, I believe this is the .ini file the game actually uses.

thats one way bongo (but it still says dx10 even if you have dx11, and that way is game side only).

To check your system - click start, if u got win xp, click run and type dxdiag, and if u got win 7 type the same in the text box above start. In the new window that opens down the bottom it will tell you your version.

DX11 is in fact a upper-set of DX10.

That mean that DX11 hardware is able to move DX10 without problems, and DX10 hardware is able to move DX11 games but showing DX10 features only.

Thanks guys. I ran dxdiag in Win 7 and see that I have DX11. Is that a problem for CoD seeing that it only supports DX10? Sorry, not very technical in that direction!

EDIT: crossed with Buchon's post above. All seems fine then I guess.

neg, leave it at that. if you change it to dx11 you get video corruption. (the conf.ini file i mean, dont change it to d3d11_0 )

I have dx11 but my graphics card is only capable of dx9, so i changed config to 9_0 and the game worked.
