3D initialize and gpu programming

[julesd]

i Have a few questions

I am trying to run a 3d demo on my a10 apu laptop.,
Using demo version of purebasic 5.11 x64 on windows 8 standard 64bit

i keep gettig "the 3D engine can't be initialized"

it works on my a8 apu on my desktop.

am I missing something directx or some sort of sdk?

Also is it possible to do gpu programming with Purebasic?

is there a basic way of gpu programming or there is a harder way of doing it, if it is possible?

thank you.

i don't know about gpu programming, but there is a program with purebasic source code by doctorized which access the physical properties of the gpu such as its temperature http://kc2000labs.shadowtavern.com/pb/pb_eng.htm
look the GPUs' temperatures, but in source change in line 47 *name.s to *name to work with pb511
it is using the NVAPI in which it is said "NVAPI is NVIDIA's core software development kit that allows direct access to NVIDIA GPUs and drivers on all windows platforms" look here for more detailed info and downloads https://developer.nvidia.com/nvapi
