Just because it is compatible does not mean that it supports dx9 features, the Radeon 7000 series came out before dx8 what even released, I think.

You guys are getting confused. All the vid cards (at least ones from the past, oh... 5-7 years) will run with dx9. It's a question of whether the card will use all the special fancy pretty features that dx9 has - but none of those features are even used in FL.

All your cards will "handle" dx9, they just won't use the super-pixel shading, or whatever else they have cooked up in it.

Yes you need 9 for multiplayer.

Make sure you update your video drivers once you update DX also.
