ATI's executives do not think that the RADEON 9700 sales are going to be affected by the absence of DirectX 9. Most of games available on the market these days utilise DirectX 7 and some of them certain DirectX 8.1 functions. There are almost no games to support pixel and vertex shaders currently, as a result, most of enthusiasts, who have purchased the most advanced graphics board of today play comparatively old games with maximum quality of rendering. Tuning anisotropic filtration and enabling FSAA is basically the only advantage the RADEON 9700 can provide these days. It is bad? No!
