Vaskez has it to rights.

DX9 performace increases will be substantial - but not for games designed for earilier versions. And sine this is a beta Ill lay money that the new shader language conflicts with the DX8 version - IE it will be hellishly unstable with non-DX9 games.

On the plus side, with a high-end GF4 or GfFX, the benefits of DX9 should be awesome.
