Will DirectX 9 Video cards such as the GeForce 7950gt be able to run a game thats directx 10 such as crysis?

Maybe, through compatibility libraries, I found this back in May.

These libraries allow the use of DirectX 10 games on platforms other than Windows Vista, and increase hardware compatibility even on Vista, by compiling Geometry Shaders down to native machine code for execution where hardware isn't capable of running it. No longer will you have to upgrade your OS and video card(s) to play the latest games.

YES They will.

Your card will run crysis or any other directx 10 games.

The only features not accesible for your card will be the so called directx 10 extra eye candy. Which won't be anything more worth mentionning anyway.
