You seem very confused.  Of course it will support DirectDraw-
DirectDraw hasn't been released yet, so naturally they're not going to
announce if it has drivers for it.  If it's meant to be a games card,
it will have support for DirectDraw.  Regardless, DirectDraw is really
meant for 2D games, 3D DDI is what you need for 3D support.
