I just got a new Radeon 7790 card for my PC, and after downloading and installing the latest drivers from AMD, I ran dxdiag on it. I was surprised to see this:
D3D9 Overlay: Not Supported
DXVA-HD Not Supported
For comparison, the dxdiag report I ran on my Intel I3 CPU's integrated graphics before I installed the 7790 shows:
D3D9 Overlay: Supported
DXVA-HD Supported
I googled around, and there are all kinds of questions from Radeon owners about this, going back several years, but I couldn't find a good explanation of why those features aren't supported, or what the consequences are.
It seems to work fine with the couple of movies and low-end games I've tested, and it seems like ATI couldn't sell many cards if whatever isn't supported is something vital, but if anybody could tell me why a fairly high end card doesn't support as much as Intel's integrated graphics, or what those features are used for, or whether I can turn them on somehow, I'd be grateful.
If it matters, I'm running Win8.1 Pro 64, Gigabyte 7790 1GB card, and Gigabyte Z87M-D3H mb.
Thanks for any help.
