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 GF4 MX series has hardware that meets DirectX 7 standards. You will be able to play DX games, but I don't know how much you will enjoy playing them. Welcome to Anandtech Forums, enjoy your stay. Peace.

You can play DX9 games but you won't get any DX9 eye candy or optomizations out of em.
