I have a Geforce GTX 280 and have tried 3 diffrent sets of drivers.
Currently running driver package 267.24.
Tried the latest WHQL release.  
Running windows vista with service pack 2.
Checked my DirectX version with the directx utility and this shows it as 10.1.

Yet i am unable to see a directx 10 option in the game config utility or in game.

I have tried lowering the settings and taking off the V sync this has not worked. I am unable to select directx 11 and just set the setting to high.  Only seems to have low or medium. Spent a bit of time looking through the forum on what to try and seem to be hitting a dead end.

Any help as to what i could try next would be great.

DA2 does have DX10 but it doesn't use a seperate renderer for it. Instead the DX10 features are tied into the DX11 renderer.

What features you use (so DX11 or only DX10 or DX9) is determined by the Graphics level setting. Starting the game with the DX11 renderer will give you 2 new graphics level settings: "High" and "Very High". High is DX10 and Very High is DX11.

The problem with this is that Bioware kind of assumes everyone is running Windows 7, which ofcourse isn't the case. If you are running Vista or XP, then unless you have DX11 manually installed you can't start the game in DX11 mode and so you also can't use the DX10 features the game offers.

The best thing I can suggest is google a how-to-install-DX11-on-vista guide and follow that.

I believe the upside of this choice Bioware made to run DX10 through the DX11 renderer is that it gives better performance than using the DX10 renderer for DX10 (orso I've heard).

DX11 Render is fully backwards compatible. So pretty much DX11 render is the DX10 Render. Just when you have windows 7 (and thus DX11) you get all the functions, where if you have Vista you only get the dx10 functions.

You are suppose to use DX11 Render and is capped at "High" if you are DX10 only.

Thanks for the info guys, i am in the process of doing the platform update thats been hidden in vista. Ill keep you posted

Running into a few issues, not sure if you could be of help again. I have added the registry entries using a lil app off the net from, i think, tom or dans hardware. This should allow vista to find the platform update but when i ask it to check for update its just sits scanning.

Tried resetting the search facility with a "fix it now" from the Microsoft website but i still run into the same issue. From what i have read the platform update is not available as a manual download its only via the windows update facility which just seems to hang and hang and hang.

That's not true. DX11 is backwards compatible, but not 100%. DX10 features rendered in DX11 are compatible with DX10 hardware, but some features like tesselation are a DX11 exclusive.
