The GeForce4 MX 440-SE was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on February 6th, 2002. Built on the 150 nm process, and based on the NV17 graphics processor, in its MX440-SE A5 variant, the card supports DirectX 7.0. Since GeForce4 MX 440-SE does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The NV17 graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 65 mm² and 29 million transistors. It features 2 pixel shaders and 0 vertex shaders, 4 texture mapping units, and 2 ROPs. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support). NVIDIA has paired 64 MB DDR memory with the GeForce4 MX 440-SE, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 250 MHz, memory is running at 166 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440-SE does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is not exactly known. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video. GeForce4 MX 440-SE is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 4x interface.
