Probably the most comprehensive approach is to look for the Utility that comes with the DirectX SDK (both version 9 and 10). It lives in the Utilities directory of wherever you installed the SDK on disc. As I recall, it's name is something obvious like, "DX9Capabilities". Launch it, and it will automatically query your Graphics Card and show you graphically what it's capabilities are. Then all you have to do is do a little research into what each designation actually means. The documentation that comes with the SDK should explain it all. You will discover that some DirectX APIs don't work because your Graphics Card doesn't perform a certain operation. It's a tedious process, but necessary in many circumstances where you are actually instructing the GPU to perform some computation (just by calling a standard DirectX API in your code). The API will often just fail silently, or return an almost useless error code like, D3DERR_INVALIDCALL. Determining your Graphics card capabilities beforehand prevents this kind of thing.
