    Isn't there a command-line parameter for WoW that lets you restrict it to DX9?
    Now playing: WoW (Garona)

    There probably still is because it's how Blizzard told people to try the experimental DX11 mode before they fully
    implemented it back months ago and I doubt they removed it. Now it's standard in your config.wtf or, as
    already mentioned, in the actual advanced video settings. It's probably always been able to be added either
    way since it's been around but,
    I'm too lazy to test the command line right now because the Giants are about
    to play the Rams.

    Just tested this... -d3d9 and -d3d11 still work as command line arguments. This means anyone that doesn't
    accidentally want DX11 to be enabled on their games can make a wow.exe shortcut using the -d3d11 switch
    (or vice versa) and launch from that.

    is DX11 something you have to install on top of WoW, or is it installed with wow now?
    When i look at the DirectX dropdown in the wow video options i only see 9. I'm assuming that means wow runs on 9 for me. ?

    i'll try the parameter anyway. thanks for sharing.

    If that's all you see then you're locked into it. DirectX is dependent of your OS and video card.
