9700Pro DirectX and 'shader model' support?

[Benno...]

I was reading the artikel on Toms hardware about Far Cry 1.2, DirectX9c
and shader model 3.0:
[http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20040705/index.html]
and was wondering what the 9700Pro is supporting? Is it capable of DX9
and shader model 2 or is it limited to DX8?

Also does anyone know what Doom3 and HL2 are going to support?

tia,
B.

No ATI cards support PS3.0, only the latest NVidia cards do. The 9700
Pro is DX9 with PS2.0.
