Thanks...DirectX 7 I believe.
I had the 4400 but i can't remember anything from that far back..I pretty sure all the GF4xxx TI series featured DX8.1 though. I had a 4200 and it did extra scenes and effects on 3dmark over my previous GF2mx.
GF4 MX (NV17) doesn't use the same core as the rest of the GF4 line (NV25)... it has more in common with the original GeFroce 2 MX (NV11) than anything else - like the GF2 MX it lacks any vertex pipelines.
