Not really, many games check the MaxSimultaneousTextures cap and use that 
value even if they are using pixel shaders. E.g. HL2 fails in dxlevel 81 with 
that with ARB shaders because it checks that cap if it finds SM 1.x, and Age 
of Empires 3 fails as well. Call of duty 4 is another popular example, it 
requires 8 fixed function textures. (COD4 wants TSSARGTEMP as well, so that 
point is moot)
