I have steam games and I just got orange box. It told me to update my direct x driver to a minimum of 8.0. So I got 9.0c. I extracted it to Local Disk and Program Files. I go to run > dxdiag > and it says that my Direct X Driver is now 9.0c. So I go back to steam and look at help > system information and it says for Direct X Drivers I only have 6.14. I am very confused and need help.

ATI Radeon X300/X500/X1050 Series?
You'd better test your system with the "Game-o-meter":

There should be 4 different points marked on the chart. #1 & #2 are the game's published minimum & recommended specs...#3 & #4 are the minimum & recommended specs from YouGamers. There's also a point that shows "Your System"...where is that in relation to 1, 2, 3, 4?
It's time to face the fact that the RADEON X1050 is not a gaming card.
