How do I revert to an older Direct X version?
I've recently installed version 9.0 but its complete crap, so basically I want version 8.1 back. How do I do this? Is it even possible at all?

Not for the sake of extra 3Dmarks, but rather as the drop that I got indicated to me that I had lost a significant amount of performance
DX v 8.1 = 10200 3dmarks
DX v 9.0 = 8521 3dmarks
That is a large drop for one API upgrade.

DX 9 is still buggy as hell:

this only covers Flight Simulator, but I guess similar problems can be seen in other games too...
