MOH:PA card problems

I have searched Google with this problem I'm having with MOH:PA, I bought that game for fifty bucks and it doesn't run on my Nvida GeForce 4 MX card and I have the highest version of Direct X. Many people are having this problem too. An error says my card doesn't support direct x 8.1. It's stupid how MOH requires something like that. Hopfully there will be a patch because it has been said you have to buy a higher, newer card and I'm content with mine. They better fix it or they will have some very unhappy customers.

Sad to hear this: From Nvidia web site; support forums:

Medal of Honor Pacific Assault requires Pixel Shader support in order to run. Pixel Shader is a hardware feature not available in older NVIDIA based graphics cards. The following GPU's do not support Pixel Shaders and will not run Medal of Honor Pacific Assault:

Riva TNT
Riva TNT2 M64, Riva TNT2, Riva TNT2 Pro, Riva TNT2 Ultra, Aladdin TNT2
Vanta
Geforce 256 DDR/SDR
Gefprce2 MX, Geforce2 GTS, Geforce2 GTS Pro, Geforce2 Ultra, Geforce2 Go, Geforce2 Integrated GPU
Geforce 3, Geforce3 Ti 200, Geforce3 Ti 500
Geforce4MX, Geforce4 MX Go, Geforce4 Integrated GPU
Quadro
Quadro2 EX/MXR, Quadro2 Pro, Quadro2 Go
Quadro4 380 XGL, Quadro4 500 XGL, Quadro4 550 XGL, Quadro4 580 XGL
Quadro NVS

Since Pixel Shaders is a hardware feature, it cannot be added via a driver update. If you have a graphics card which uses a GPU from the list above, you will need to replace your graphics card with a newer model which supports Pixel Shaders.

Yeah you need Pixel Shader, I had that card, you'll want to upgrade those old MX 440's have about reached the end of their lifespan... There's no way to make MOHPA run on those.... I had to upgrade to a Radeon 9600se 128Mb, I'd recommend one of the 9600's or 9800's for about $100-200 or so...

i really hate seeing these posts where ppl say "my card wont support one of the visually best games available! wtf!" and they're toting a dinosaur worthy of President Lincoln.

people, to play good games, you need good equipment.

your sense of humor never ends... im laughing my tail off.. anyway, i had a RADEON 7500 and the game needed 8500 (the next version up) anyway, i was ranting about this when the demo came out. overall i spent $151 dollars on this game. $30 on game(directors,from store), $32 on memory, and $99 on my RADEON 9200. (the 9600 was $128

) so i needed a new vid card too.

perrrrrrrty funny liz..

my PA installed direct x 9?

i think 8.1 is the minimum required.
