Will DirectX sdk slow down game speed?

Hi all,

DirectX comes with 2 versions
1. sdk for development and debugging
(it is said that it is slower)
2. end-user runtime

If we install DirectX sdk,
will it slow down game speed?

Thanks in advance

I never noticed any slowdown. Didn't know there was a slow down.

When building, if you switch to use debug version you can see slowdown, however when normal using I didn't notice significant slowness. SDK is only required if you want to build something...

yeah make sure debug is OFF for sure. That DOES slow down games.

I assumed he was just referring to actually installing it and what effect it would have on playing games.

No it doesn't slow down game speed from what I can tell, although installing the SDK does seem to slow the general operation of windows I've noticed. Especially if you're using .NET.

Thanks a lot.
