Well, in *theory*, DX9 should run anything that will run on DX8 should run anything that will run on DX7... run on DX1. In practise, I dont know. Havent seen any tests dont on it. I wouldnt think that a very old game will act any different on DX9 than DX8 though, the basics of DX should be well sorted out by now.

Of course, if you dont have a very modern graphics card then you cant use any of the features of DX9 anyway, and the only benefit you would get would be a minimal speed increase.
