Ok, I have these two cards lying around. A Geforce 4 MX440 and a Geforce 3 Ti 200. Any one have an opinion as to which is better? I would like the best game performance. It is going into a P4 1.6ghz 384mb pc2100 400mhz fsb. Winxp
Thanks

The Geforce3 Ti will kick the Geforce4 MX's ass to kingdom come any day of the week.

Not to mention the Geforce 3 is directX 8 hardware... the Geforce 4 MX is a DirectX 7 part.

The choice is clear.

Go with the GF3, and oc it if you want to (Ti200's did pretty well as I recall)

It's not about good or bad, it's about which gets you rich and laid faster.

Ti 200? That is an awesome freakin card...but it depends on a couple of things for max performance. The first is that I hope to god the card he has is a 128MB cuz then he'll be able to get <i>close to</i> Ti4600 speeds out of it. The second...hopefully it is a Gainward one because those were the best ones back in the day. If it's a Leadtek though they aren't that bad cuz they have the kick arse heatsinks that cover the whole VPU which might make things easier for the OC. I had a Gainward :/ I should probably try OCing it more when I get my watercooler :P Just for $hiots -n- Giggles.

Another vote for the GF3, the GF4mx is based on the GF2 (with one extra option) if I rememeber correctly.

Well, it isnt a 128 or a Gainward. It is a 64mb version from EVGA that I got for free!!!

Free is always good. 'Cause if YOU think it sucks, no loss and then back to the clearance desk. :wink:

Don't worry, 128 MB video memory is 100% useless for GF3 Ti200

GF4 MX = GF2 MX + VPE (Video processing engine)

GF2 MX = GF2 GTS but ½ fillrate
