Hi,
I have here 2 cards. I have my original video card which I am currently using.
Gigabyte Maya Radeon 9000 NON-Pro 64Meg
And I have one I bought for a secondary machine
Daytona GeForce 4 MX440-8X 64Meg
Now I have been looking at the benchmarks and I have noticed that the 9000 wins some and the MX440 wins some others. Contary to what I was expecting. I wasnt expecting the GF4 MX440 to even touch the R9000. So now I want to know other peoples opinions which card would be better in my main machine the Radeon or the GeForce. And yes I do know the GF is only an overclocked GF2. But does the MX440 have much overclocking room left? I know the Radeon doesnt.
Thanks

MX440-8X usually is better than R9000 non-Pro in DX7 games.

MX440 (standarrd, not 8X)and R9000 non-Pro tie in DX7 games.

Someday Microsoft will use safedisc copy protection on Windows, and we have to insert the Windows CD evertime we boot pc.

R9000 supports for DX8, that's the advantage I know from R9000 when you play DX8 games, otherwise, games supports DX7, GF4MX will lead
there is no much room left, but you can still try to overclock it

I own this card, this R9000 has no active cooling (cheap alluminium heatsink), 5 ns memory, no memory heatsink. I don't know, how it can be overclocked without frying the card

I had that card before
I still overclocked it a bit, from 250 to 260 or sth, I forgot
I was only able to oc the memory a little bit, (forgot how much)
all of this of course, without spending 1$, cuz I have no money =P
