* Note: Intel 8280E chipsets will not properly run the game, as they only implement DirectX 6 in hardware.
#Civilization vi update video driver drivers
Galactic Civlizations 2 generally requires video drivers newer than mid-2005 to run properly (or at all, in some cases).
#Civilization vi update video driver update
It is very important that regardless what chipset your computer has, you update your video drivers with the latest ones available. It only covers cards which support the needed graphical features, regardless of speed. Note that DX9 support may not necessarily correlate with performance (i.e., a high-end card with lesser DirectX support may run the game faster than a low-end card with better DirectX support). For this reason a DirectX9 compatible video chipset is highly recommended in order to have the best game experience.
It should still run on chipsets that are only designed for DirectX8 or DirectX7, but users may encounter some graphical issues. Because of this, the game will look its best on chipsets designed with that standard in mind. The game uses many special graphical features that were added in DirectX9.
While the game officially requires a DirectX9-compatible video chipset, it can be unclear to non-technical users just what that means. Users of NVIDIA GeForce-based chipsets should download the latest updated drivers as they become available.
As of February 2007, there are still significant problems with NVIDIA drivers for Windows Vista and Galactic Civilizations II.
