Known Issues with DX10 & DX11
1080i 30Hz Bug (ATI/AMD)
- If you have an ATI/AMD card and are experiencing problems with DX10 & DX10.1 on a HDTV coming up as 1080i then do the following:
Go into Catalyst Control Panel and Under HDTV support, add 1080i@30Hz (NTSC) and add 1080p@60Hz (NTSC). You will now be able to display 1080p in DX10/10.1 games.
24Hz Bug (Nvidia & ATI/AMD)
- There is also a bug which can effect DX10 & DX11 games which boot up at 24Hz and are being played on a HDTV. To get round this issue create a custom resolution which is 1 pixel under 1080p ie 1919x1080 or 1920x1079. Then when the game boots up select this new resolution and you will be able to play the game at 60Hz instead of 24Hz.
