I'd have though it was a DirectX 8.1 feature and was therefore viewable on any DX8.1 compliant card (such as a Radeon 8500)?

This will probably affect whether I buy a Rad8500 or GF4-4200.

No, the raindrops are available no matter what graphics card you by (as long as it meets min requirements). As long as you have a GeForce 3 Ti200 or better you can see everything in the game as it's meant to be viewed. I don't think GeForce 2's and earlier have pixel shaders, I could be wrong though.
