Look at Max Payne II, look at the mirrors, if you have a DX9 card you
can see in the mirror your image... if you have a DX8 card there is no
mirror, only grey ...

Another example besides the water in Morrowind is the water in Silent Hunter 2.
If it doesn't do the Direct X feature it will fall back but it won't look as
nice.

Yup, And sure is that DX9 games will keep support for DX8 functions to
certain heights and offer DX8 shaders and alike. Though ofcourse, it's
not as nice as DX9 shaders.

DX9 shaders don't have to look nicer or more beautifull... indeed it
also can offer faster drawing versus DX8 shaders :-)
