Thought it would be a nice to have option for people who want to experience some d3d8 games as they looked on d3d7-capable hardware (first generation T&L), since most will have a fixed function fallback for this type of situation. I think some early d3d9 games may also have such fallbacks, but they would be notably more rare (and rather bizarre at that point), so I've kept this as a d3d8-only config option.
I guess it could also be used for debugging in some cases, for example NFS High Stakes 2 currently has broken fog with programmable shaders, but its fixed function fallback path renders fog correctly (albeit fixed function reflections and other effects are more primitive than their programmable counterparts).
