Doesn't look like it. Heres what Microsoft says : How do I revert back to using an older version of DirectX? - Microsoft Community
Have you considered trying your games in a Virtual machine? (assuming you have an older MS OS disk)

Nothing to do with what the GPU supports to a point, and everything to do with what the game supports. If a game is DX9 only, then that is all it will run at regardless of whether the card supports a higher version. If the game supports a higher version, there is usually either a setting in the in game settings to select a lower version, or running at lower settings will force it to run at a lower DirectX version.
There is no way to force it through the driver or Windows.

I believe not.
Some games have mode settings to only use limited DirectX settings (like DX9).

You install this yet?
Download DirectX Redist (June 2010) from Official Microsoft Download Center

Directx is built into windows from what I understand. Read ...... somewhere....... that you CAN uninstall it , albeit with much gnashing of teeth and sorrow, but from what I gathered from MS theres other things that need it. I'm ASSUMING DirectX has "hooks" in it and each version is different. When I looked for the link I posted for you I DID find a place there (MS site) to download DirectX 9 , but not sure if you could get it on your machine from the admittedly cursory fast read.

yes ive installed that link, and it did no help. i alsoi tried to install dx9, but it wont allow me. says a newer version is already installed... it just dosent make sense that both my directx 11 games run awesome, but dx 9 games suck no matter what the graphic properties. all dx games worked fine before my new GPU.
