I haven't tried it yet, as I don't have any 3d demos/games that use DX8, so there is no point. Also when i had DX8 on my tnt, just before I got the radeon it was a bit buggy, and showed no improvments over DX7.
 
First find an app that has DX8 extensions/optimisations.

If Jungle.com say it is not in stock it'll never be in stock, so don't order it.

i use RC0 some people say Beta 2 is better than RC0 though. Which is probably true since RC0 is mostly just going to be stable then they will tweak it.
