Today, this guy over in the General Conversations forum was asking about video cards and how to choose between Radeon and Nvidia. One of the forum moderators offered this link to a site that talks about the performance comparisons of various cards...and in the article you will find a mention that the MX 440 uses DirectX 7, but HotU wants 8.1 or higher, so you may be missing out on that. Also, I notice from this website that your card does not have a cooling fan (Is this true?), and so maybe it is getting too hot. Have you cleaned the dust from your machine lately? Is there good airflow?

I found many other websites that all have thier comparisons, but this may be enough for you. Now...maybe some people on this forum will say that they have your exact same card...and theirs is fine. Well...there may be something else that they have that you don't. like a different processor or more memory...I dunno. I would definately start with checking your heating/cleanliness. Make sure you have the latest drivers for the card by going to nvidia's website.
