For nVidia cards, anything from the 5000 line and later is considered DirectX 9 hardware. For ATI, anything from the 9500 and later is also considered DirectX 9 hardware. For any other hardware, I recommend checking with the manufacturer. How can one tell if they have DirectX 9 hardware?

I should also clarify that this pronouncement is not intended to imply that the use of just any DirectX 9 hardware is advisable. Some of the more advanced features of SSP, like CinFX and RipFX, will not perform well on older DirectX 9 hardware. You should seek the best hardware that will perform according to your intended use of SSP. And if you are considering the purchase of new hardware, please review our KB article DI009 which lists the latest hardware and drivers we've tested with SSP.
