I've just watched a video where I saw Counter Strike: Global Offensive is running in Direct X 6. This makes HUGE difference on FPS and also lower the graphics quality so much. This makes me wonders and want to try it. How does one run CS:GO (or any Source Engine based game) on bare minimum Direct X 6?

You can enable DirectX 6 mode with the command line "-dxlevel 60".

right click on game -> "properties"
"set launch options..."
launch options: "-dxlevel 60"

  • Because versions of directx increment in .1's. e.g dx10.1 or dx11.2. There are also multiple versions of direct x 9 (9, 9b, 9c).
