Default is this good or bad? - 11-12-2002, 11:13 AM

I've decided to put in a bigger 3d card but don't want to pay too much.
are these stats good:

Feature

AGP interface 4x/2x AGP supports
Chipset: NVIDIA® GeForce2™ MX400
Memory: 64 MB SDRAM
General features

128-bit memory Interface
256-bit 2D and 3D graphics accelerator
350 MHz RAMDAC
700 M Texels fill rate
20 M triangles/sec setup
2.8 GB/sec memory bandwidth
200 MHz core clock
166 MHz memory clock
Digital Dual Display Architecture
NVIDIA® shading rasteriser
4 Texels per Clock
Integrated second-generation transform and lighting engine
32-bit color with 32-bit Z/stencil
Cube environment mapping
DirectX and S3TC texture compression
Optimized for Direct3D acceleration with complete support for Microsoft DirectX 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0
15-pin D-Sub VGA connector
High quality video playback

DVD and HDTV ready motion compensation for MPEG-2 decoding up to 1920x1080 NTSC format


amazingly only $47 online

NOTE: I just want a card that will make good FPS even on BIG servers liek Crow's.
unlike many "gamers" I don't care for turning the resolution up to 2000 X 1600 (or whatever) (makes the messages and other IMPORTANT things too small)

Nope, thats a geforce 2 mx aka a castrated geforce 2 pro. Try and get a hold of a geforce 3 ti200 or something. The ti200 is a geforce 3 only its clocked slightly slower.

GeForce4 Ti4200 64Mb is what I got, and it performs well. Probably around $120 now. Go check [url:6b1b9]http://www.pricewatch.com[/url:6b1b9]. And if you decide to go with the MX, no I'm not gonna kill you. eek:

Heres best price I found real quick

like I said, when I'm killing people I don't have time to stop and admire the scenery. And frankly I don't undertsand those who do stop to look at the scenery, they're costing their team the game!!!

Liek Col. O'Neill from Stargate, I don't need all this alphabet soup technobabble, I just need to know if the MX will play MOHAA so the FPS does not drop below 30?
That's all I need to know

PS. I'm not getting Doom 3 and by the time they make a war shooter with that engine I will have scrapped my current computer and gotten a new one.

You're still beter off buying a ti4200 or something. An mx card won't cut it when theres a lot of action on screen.

Jesus - is there a warehouse with all these MX's in it. SUCKER INC doing alot of business.

For an extra 75-100 dollars you can get gorgeous framerates, better scenery, and greater performance (cause a shit FPS WILL affect your game play partner). Not to mention that soon most game companies are going to spit in your general direction when it comes to making products for low-end video cards. And the GeFroce2 MX is DEFINATELY low end.
