I doubt if you'll find a PCI graphics card that is DirectX 9.0 compatible. I think they were all AGP cards by then.

Unless you mean PCI Express??

They were available, I have  a PNY 64MB version, which they then did as a 128 MB version.

Was a 6600GT and I believe was DX8 not sure it went to DX9 without checking though.
