I have a leadtek MX 440 Geforce 4 , with 64 mb DDR ram. and you can see my other specs. Now recently I downloaded a trial of Medal of Honor Pacific Assult. Well anyways, after install, i rebooted. Started the exe to it, and received this popup. Quote " Medal of Honor Passific Assult requires a card that fully supports DirectX 8.1 The Video Card in this system does not fully support DirectX 8.1" So I looked my card up, and it DOES fully support DX 8.1 Anything here my help me would be greatly appreciated. Im stumped. Yeah I should upgrade my card, but, this card runs everything, and besides, im not rich. lol Thanks in advance Shane Accelerate Electronics Computer Hardware and Cheap Hosting.

Yup, same happened to me. I have an AOPEN Nvidia MX440 DDR, 128bit. It is also a supported DX 8.1 and 9x as well. Seems like EA has a problem with the card sense algo in the setup. I would expect that they will fix this in short order. I (and you as well) should post this to EA. -c

I have a Nvidia Geforce 4 MX 4000 and have the exact same problem. Checked all DirectX components (running 9.0c) with no issues! Game reports card is not 8.1 compat. In the readme they do say it will be more forgiving on the final release, but I'm not sure I can afford to waste £30 or so on a game that my machine should but can't run

I had the very same problem with Forsa MX4000 128 mb videocard. This only, I repeat, ONLY, happens when you install newest drivers, circa ForceWare 60+. If you downloaded these drivers from nVidia's website, try getting older drivers (around ForceWare 40-50), uninstalling the ones you have right now, and try the older ones. I have ForceWare 42 (not quite sure about that, but it's certainly not newer than 50), and dxdiag says I can use DirectX 9.0c interfaces, while dxdiag with Forceware 61.xx drivers was not able to produce even 8.0 interfaces. NOTE There is NO performance gains from newer drivers for relatively old videocards of nVidia's family, since all of their abilities were realized well before. Current drivers are there to take everything newer videocards can handle, but they do not really support older hardware. Hope this helped
