I believe I've encountered the same problem once. I'll check it out
when I get home. Could you perhaps upload the DirectX tools (psa.exe,
vsa.exe for dx 8, fxc.exe for dx9) somewhere?

Nope, only ~5% of steam users (that took part) still use DX8.

Yep, they're still playing Counter-Strike (not Source) on their 386 PCs. :)

I get quite a lot of people playing GMod on laptops. They have a lot of

That's largely because of the lower video settings it enforces. You
could get the same performance under DX9 if you applied the relevant
cvars from dxconfig.cfg.

That's simply not true, there's a huge difference between DX8 and DX9
performance that's not related to quality settings in any way, at least in
TF2. On my home PC which uses an X1300, I've noticed at least a 10 FPS
difference between the two DX levels with the exact same quality settings in
TF2.
DX8 and 9 are very different from eachother. Depending on the
implementation, usually you see a performance difference between the
two, DX 8 running a bit better. I am guessing because of the advanced
features with DX9 creating extra overhead.

There is more to video config than the options in the UI. Check dxconfig
and you'll find a load of different stuff. Now that I think about it
some of the downgrading is done with dxlevel checks in materials, and
you won't get that, but there are still improvements to be made.

dxlevel 80 leads to more FPS because DirectX 8.0 shaders in Source use
cheaper features.
If you really *must* have DX 8.0 support then check earlier/later DX
SDK. I use DX SDK August 2009. I copied fxc.exe psa.exe and vsa.exe
earlier so I might be using earlier version.
