hmmmm i know I can install dx9 on an older card
my card is an gf4 mx440 64mb ddr w/ agp 8x (MSI), on the box it says my card supports dx8.1, but i doesnt, because its a gf4 mx440 (duh!) and as u can see on the reviews, i cant run pixel shader 2.0 here
a guy on other forum said that he saw on the setup of hw2 that the game requires a dx9 video card (a video card that has native (hardware) support for dx9, like all gf fx cards)
but i think it will run on cards that doesnt have native support for dx9, without some graphical effects, of course
its like halflife2, if u have a video card that has native support for dx9, the game will run with all graphical effects, but if ur card doesnt have that support, it will run anyway, without the goodies

well the people that have dx8 cards like the gf4 ti series will see most of the goodies.
but no the game does not require a dx9 card to play, that would be insane to make a game that only work with the latest cards, the company would loose shitloads of money since so few would be able to play it
so dont worry it will work on your card, maybe slow but it will still work :P
