I was recently reading about the new DX 10. I heard how it is not compatible with DX 9 and in order to run DX 9 games you need to use a software layer. But they say it makes for slower perfomance. Lets say you had a 7900 gt. When DX10 is realeased would that card be able to handle it, or in SLI mode.

It's a small performance hit. You won't even need SLI.
