Direct X 9.0

I have purchased a game (Tiger Woods 2004) and it calls for Direct X 9.0. My video card (ATI Radeon 9200 se 128ddr) only supports Direct X 8.1. Do I need to upgrade my video card? Or is there a software (driver) download I can do to get this? Please let me know.

To take full advantage of Directx 9.0 you will need a new video card, but you CAN still run the game on your current card. Just install Directx 9.0 like it asks, and play the game normally. All should run fine, just your card will not utilize directx 9 features.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot and I guess If I don't like the visuals i'll upgrade the vid card!
