When Windows 8 was released two weeks ago, one of the operating system's features was DirectX 11.1, the latest version of Microsoft's 3D graphics API. The company has listed all of DirectX 11.1's new features on its support page, Perhaps the highest profile difference between the new version and the older DirectX 11 is that DirectX 11.1 has native stereoscopic 3D support.That means any PC games or applications written with DirectX 11.1 will have support for viewing the content via * +

There is a possible free way to get around it,by installing windows 8 trial version and copying the driver files onto your old system folder. In a log file here it's plainly written,extracting files from tmp folders created while installing 8 into system folder,and the title's directx. However uploaded system files may have compatibility issues on different pc's * +
