I got a 9600xt256mb tonight (upgraded from my gf2mx64mb) and installed all the latest drivers, got into hl2, and it says hardware level directx 7 in the video options, and in game all the graphics are directx 7 and I can't turn on water reflections or anything like that. Ive run the benchmark test on directx 9 and the reflections were there and it all looked awesome, but then I went back into it and it was directx 7 again. If anyone can help, twould be highly appreciated. Cheers :D
 
When at the main menu, type in mat_dxlevel 90 in the console

It'll switch it to DX9 mode :)
