GeForce 2 MX400 vs. Voodoo 5 5500
 

ok u guys i got £50 and ive found two cards on ebay.co.uk these are the GeForce 2 MX400 and the Voodoo 5 5500 PCI cards, anyone know which is better cos i have been reading some benchmarks for the voodoo card and they are all different, does anyone use any of these cards for medal of honor? how many FPS do u get with the highest settings? thanks for your help guys

p.s dont say i should save up and wait to get a GeForce 4 ti4600 or whatever i need a new card desperately, thanks.

I have the MX400 and its a pretty solid card for what its worth.

My settings:
Res: 1024x768
Text Detail: Medium
Effects: High
Models: Higher
Shadows: Simple
Curve: Medium

Basically everything on Medium and I get anywhere from 15 to 180 FPS.

I just switched my vodoo 5500 for a geforce 4 mx 440, and its worth your money to go geforce because u can still get updated drivers and crap from nvidia...3dfx the guys that made vodoo went outta buisness and dont make anything anymore, i got my geforce 4 mx 440 from circuit city for 79.99 usd which is probably only a lil bit more then 50 english pounds...

Yeah why get a geforce 2 when you could get a geforce 4 I only spent around $50(USD) for my GeForce 4 Mx420 I havent installed it yet so I cant tell you anything about it but Its.....Better than a GeForce 2 Mx440

well i have gf2 mx 400 64mb and its a pretty good card for its age now ... never bother with voodoo...3dfx is shit...not worth bothgering with...i nearly bought the new gf4 ti4800 but im waiting 4 the new 1 now then ill buy...gf-FX

Geforce FX biggrin:

With my system now i never go below 50fps, and have gone over 350fps, maybe more if i run to secluded areas. And this is on 1024x768, everything MAXED.

My bros pc is running GF2 MX, with a 1ghz p3, and 384 pc-100 ram, and it gets the job done. But do not get a Voodoo5! Im still trying to get the Voodoo3 to work on the 4th PC, but its still a no go. Always giving me the error about not loading OpenGL at the console just before it loads the game.

ok well it looks as though i have to go with the voodoo cos i been outbid for the GeForce, i use a voodoo 3 at the moment and i get anywhere between 25-100 FPS with everything at the medium settings, to say its only 16mb it is a very good card. thanks for your help guys.

i have a 64 mb e-geforece mx420, its nice, but it can be gay some times too

terminator..to get mohaa working on a voodoo u need to download wickedgl

Whats the point having 350 fps when your monitors refresh rate is only around 90? lol

That would like be making movies at 50 fps when a normal tv can only display around 24 fps!

I want a gf4 my gf3 t200 is crap when it comes to games like vietcong :( My fps is around 15-25 how bad is that! So much for the hardware being a zillion times better than da software, what ever happened to that argument? :)

i got a GeForce 4 Ti4200, and i run max settings on MOHAA, slightly less than max in spearhead.

Save your $$$.

The Voodoo5 & GF2 MX series are almost outdated. (Almost) You are better off getting a RADEON 7500 or 8500 LE, or a GeForce 3 card.

lucky!
 

how lucky, i found a card on ebay.co.uk the GeForce 2 MX400 lol the bid was ending in 10 minutes and the guy had 41 cards he was getting rid of, he works at an online shop or something i dunno but it was £53 including delivery and VAT, not bad me thinks, if im gonna get a geforce 3 or 4 i may aswell wait till this Xmas coming coas my parents are just gonna give me money instead of buying me stuff so i can buy upgrades for my PC, i need more RAM and i will probably buy a new gfx card.

OK. .. you do realize X-Mas just passed, right? heh

12 months is a long time to sit and stew over what could have been.
