DirectX 9.0...

...Has been released, as many of you have probably seen.

If, however, you would like the full redistributable file instead of playing with the "web setup" you can get it from here:

Well, I'm glad I didn't try it yet...

Just checked out the DX9 demos on ATI's page. Somebody let me know when DX9 is safe to install, 'cause I'd love to see a couple of those demos on my AIW 9700 and you know we aren't going to see a DX9-enabled games for eighteen months or so...

I installed DX9 and the Catalyst 3.0 drivers without any problems. I can't play the demos though, since they only run on the 9500/9700.
