GeForce4 MX and Direct-X

[fearQuestion]

Hi, I am on a pretty low budget and I ordered a 128mb version of the GeForce4 MX. I've read from a couple places that it does not support Direct-X? Does this mean it won't run games like Splinter Cell which lists a 32mb Direct-X video card as a requirement? On the nVidia site, the Detonator driver says "Direct-X 9 Compliant" or something like that, can someone please clear up my confusion? Thanks a lot!

The Geforce4 mx supports DX7. I believe splinter cell is a DX8 game, dont worry though it should work just fine.

What nick1985 means is the Mods don`t like members posting the same topic in more then one forum(cross posting),I know your a new member so probably didn`t know this,btw it`ll run fine with your GF4 MX,also welcome to the Anandtech forums.
