I think that using 3dfx ref drivers would help you less than fv2 drivers. d3d games will still work on dx9 although you can't use dxdiag to see if d3d is working. I am -not- sure, but I think that if a game requires dx8.1 or older, it will work fine even if you have dx9 installed. the problem could raise if you play a game that uses dx9 functions. In other words, downgrading to dx8.1 will not change things other than being able to see that spinning cube on dxdiag's test.

also, seems that 3dfx ref drivers support only ~dx6... fv2 goes up to dx8.1.

Latest reference V2 drivers are dx7 compatible
