Unless it is one of the very very few brand new games that comes with DirectX 10, you are using DirectX 9 anyway, so there is no changing involved.

In some games, you can specify what DirectX level you want to use.
For Example, on steam games
You can put -dxlevel 90 on your launch options to degrade your DirectX level to DX9.
By doing this, it will increase your overall framerate for that game only.
For other games, you might want to consult their support on how to use DX9 on their game.
When it comes to Vista itself, I am not really sure if you can do it. I dont use Vista.

Your mixing apples and oranges here. DX10 isn't totally applied yet. DX10 is drivers for particular video taking part in cards that could cope with the snap shots enhancements. if your cutting-edge video card can cope with it, then the replace (unfastened) could paintings. the placement to be sure may be the manufacturers website. DX10 will upload many valuable aspects that cutting-edge video taking part in cards would possibly no longer be waiting to deal with yet for my area i'm hoping that's going to be backwards like minded so in case you load DX10 drivers, your video wont' crash.
