I have the game Thief 3 and it doesn't work with my NVIDIA GFORCE 4 MX 440
because of Pixel Shaders-
Can i emulate it?

Thanks in advance.

You can. (In fact, people have been successful in running Doom 3 on
Voodoo5.) However, the end result will be slow, ugly as hell, or a
combination of both...

Yes in fact.

You can emulate the caps and also software rasterize any functions, but
it's best just to emulate the cap to force the game to run.

Software rasterization = slow performance

Why don't you buy a good but cheap card?
You can get a Fx-5200 for about $50!
