Does the Geforce4 MX440 support HT&L? I'm trying to find out for a friend who has bought one but doesn't think that it does support it. I'd assume it could since my GeForce3 does.

All the GeForce variants support it, even the GeForce4 MX which is little more than a GeForce2 on 'roids.

All of the GeForce linup uses a graphical processing unit (GPU). One of the reasons GPU's were developed was for processing HT&L.  Later version of the GeForces were better at it (ie. GeForce 2 and up).

Actually, the GeForce1 is not capable of HT&L. The concept wasn't put into silicon until the GeForce2 GTS. Not sure how well it works on the Geforce2 though.

My old GF2MX supported HT&L and it did so with ease.

But wasn't the whole selling point of the GeForce1 it's support for HT&L?

You know what: you're absolutely right, AdmiralLSD.


I could have sworn that proper HT&L wasn't added until the GeForce2, but a quick scan through the technology articles on the chipsets reveals that indeed, the GeForce1 had a transform and lighting component.

I feel pretty damn stupid.

Ditto, tho mine isn't my 'old' one, it' my 'only' one since I fried my AGP slot with a Radeon 9200...
