Here's a quick video to compare and contrast two directX settings in TF2. If you can tell, there isn't that much difference in quality when looking at environmental objects (trees, rocks, buildings, etc...) But it's a completely different story when it comes to particle effects such as unusual effects, Übercharge effects and more (follow-up video coming soon).
P.S. the resolution of the directX8 window was set to 1152x648, hence the low pixel density, my mistake for not setting it to 1080p.
DIRECTX SETTINGS
"-dxlevel 81" in launch options for DirectX8 (increases FPS)
"-dxlevel 90" in launch options for DirectX9
