Geforce MX series

ToM_E · September 2nd, 2002

Whats the difference between Geforce 4 mx and Geforce 4 tis? Is geforce 3 ti 200 bette4r than geforce 4 mx 420? I need some info...How much anti-alising can geforce 4 mx do?

**Kane** · September 2nd, 2002

GF3 is better than 4MX as 4MX's don't have vertex and pixel shaders and don't support the added features of DX8. 4MX's are basicaly GF2s wich a rocket up thier a$$es
4Ti's are the best Gf avaliable, like a GF3 on steroids.

Ic...so Is like a Radeon 7500 better than a Geforce 4 mx 420?

Check out Tomshardware

ToM_E · September 2nd, 2002

Okay. Thx

**liquid** · September 2nd, 2002

The Geforce 3 is an all-around well balanced card, it's faster and is capable of doing more than a GF4MX, but sadly it been forgotten :sad:

Liquid, you are right the GF3 TI is an excellent card. But the problem was that the GF4 TI's came out so soon after the GF3 that most people moved to a GF4 and forgot about using a GF3.
Lord Kane, you are correct about the GF4. I have a GF4 TI 4600, which is the top of the line GF card right now, and I am constantly amazed at what the card can do. But wait until the NV30 Debuts.
From what I have heard it will put even my card to shame.
sincerely,

Toe_E my geforce 4 mx440 is significantly faster than my radeon 7500.

1000+ 3dmarks faster on the same setup.

**_E_** · September 3rd, 2002

well,....if you are looking for high quality 3D cards, go for Nvidia G-Force cards,..........if you are looking for speed, then go for G force 4 Ti,..........but what i would recommend, is to hang on for a while until the next generation of 3 D cards come up on asle, i think this will happen after 3-4 months

ToM_E · September 3rd, 2002

Is a Radeon 9000 Pro faster than a Geforce 4 mx? Im going to buy maii bros videocard in 3 horus...

Esturk · September 3rd, 2002

Why don't you look up the two cards on the net and compare them?

**Kane** · September 3rd, 2002

Toms Hardware I think is reliable

There's a big difference between the MX 420 and MX 440. The former uses SDRAM while the latter uses DDR RAM, meaning the MX 420 only has half the memory bandwidth of the MX 440. There's quite a big difference between the two.

The next generation of 3D cards are already here, namely the Matrox Parhelia and the ATI Radeon 9700, both 512-bit graphics cards with 256 MB of RAM and DirectX 9 compliancy. Nvidia is a bit late this time around and will have their DX 9 card (NV30) available in the upcoming months.

BTW, it's "GeForce". G-Force was a misleading name used on some OEM product.

The Radeon 9000 would be better for gaming. It's a DX 8.1 card while the MX 420 is DX 7.1 and if you know anything about DX 8 architecture and pixel shaders you'd know how significant DX 8 support is. The Radeon 9000 has superior features and is faster as well.

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL!!! AHHHHHHH!!!

My bros birthday was yesterday...and guess what? Something bad for me happened. My mom bought him a geforce 4 ti 4600 and he said I can have the Radeon 9000 Pro. ARGH! So Im using the Radeon 9000 Pro and Im suppose to get a Radeon 9700! Argh!!!!

Esturk · September 5th, 2002

Awww. You're so hard done by ToM_E! I'm still using a Voodoo 3. I would love to have a Radeon 9000!

ToM_E · September 5th, 2002

I have a Voodoo 5 5500 and a TNT 2 M64 not being used right now. Probably be giving away to my friends sooner or later.
