Question about GeForce 4 MX440 w/ AGP 8x

[Dumb Dude]

I had this card but I recently got rid of it (not really I still have it) and now I have a 6600gt. Today I was taking a look at the box for the GeForce 4 and I see somthing that puzzles me. It says optimized for DX 8.1, and something about True Reflective Bump Mapping. Is it true that this card could do that?? I beat HL2 with thatr card running in DX 7. So my real question is.. Could I have been able to force DX 8.1 with it and see the bump mapping and water reflections??

17 views and no one has anything to say? I'm always giving people fast replys and what-not and this is how I get treated? Oh well. It really shouldn't matter much since I don't use that video card anymore, but it can help me in selling it.

gf4's are dx 7 only.

DX7 with a few DX8 extensions to be more precise but HL2 will only play in DX7 on one.

I see I see, but why the bump mapping thing?
