DirectX Redist. August is out

worth getting

Is it worth updating the DX9 ? What features are improved / fixed / issues resolved?

I know I know, I am being lazy not looking for the info myself.

I think it is worth the update. Someone has reported an increase in 3dmark scores so it seems there is a little bit to gain from this. I've updated mine but I don't mess around with benchmarking unless it's new hardware as life isn't permanent ;).

Doesn't seem that good imo.
 
Nice bit of Blasphemy to start the morning... not sure 5fps is exactly that amazing. (nice though :D)

EDIT: actually thinking about it, getting 5fps from a directx update is pretty cool.

thanks for this. Whenever I try to download DirectX, I always seem to get the dxwebsetup.exe file that times out on me when it tries to download the rest.
