Half-Life 2 Episode 2 on Geforce4 MX-440 64mb DirectX7

Finally I made it working on dxlevel 70.
FPS with FRAPS: ~15
Actual FPS: 25-30
Everything except gore, fire, blood, smoke and dust particles looks fine.
How I did it?
I was using this tutorial:

your video card is broken. it works at 600x480 . if you have good cpu it will run a little smoother:D

source is a very well optimized engine

[Latvietis96]

@ayaNbilgiN Not really. I run Half Life 2 and Half Life 2 Episode 1quite well, but since Episode 3 uses Direct X 9.0 effects and the MX-440 supports only DirectX 7, this is what happens.

i managed to get this video card to run at directx 8 level. it was only playable in doors levels.

@Latvietis96 Except me

[edmund94232]

@Latvietis96 nope. i used powerstrip and i just type in the console "mat_dxlevel 80" kept models on low and texture at medium. if i try to use fraps. it will be slow.
