Ok Ladies and Gents

Regardless of your pc and how quick it is, which is the better and or
quicker card to buy
the Geforce 3 Ti200 or the newer Geforce 4 MX440 ?

Thanks

I've got a GeForce 4 MX440 and it's OK, but from what i've read the GeForce
3 TI200 is better.

Geforce 3 is a directx 8 card, Geforce 4mx is a DX7 card.
Geforce 3 has vertex shading and pixel shading capabilities. Geforce 4mx
does not.
Geforce 4mx has improved AA capabilities and Lightsped Memory Architecture.
Geforce 4mx has integrated TV-oout built into the actual chipset, Geforce
3's have seperate TV-Out decoder(much better quality)
Do not buy this card if you are looking for a card that will last you for a
while.
However if you mainly play older DX7 games, it is a good buy. Do not buy
this card for Doom.(where have I heard that before.......)

However if the Geforce 3 Ti200 is the same price as Geforce 4mx440 go for
the Geforce 3

yeah, the gf3 ti 200 is better, by about 10-15% in fps usually.

Even try finding a 128Mb DDR version of the 3, you will get that 64Mb DDr
almost for free.

I have the AOPEN GEFORCE TI200 128Mb DDR

In the times of Yore, approximately 3 moons after Tue, 27 Aug 2002 11:39:50 +0100, there was a signal from the heavens from where the angel
"dave" <dave...@hotmail.com> emblazoned these words across the heavens:

A recent issue of PCGamer ran tests with 2 machines, an Athlon 1.2Ghz w/ 384Mb PC-100 and Windows '98 and with a P4-2.4 w/256 Rambus and Windows
2k, and all the available nVidia cards. Here's the 3dmarks they got:

Card 1.2Ghz 2.4Ghz
Voodoo Banshee PCI 1080 -
GF 2 MX 400 2653 2908
GF 4 MX 440 4100 5927
GF3 Ti 200 5090 7039
GF3 (original) 5379 7732
GF3 Ti 500 5600 8528
GF4 Ti 4200(64mb) 6563 9660
GF4 Ti 4400 6856 10256
GF4 Ti 4600 7090 10761

As you can see, the GeForce 3 Ti 200 is much more powerful than the Geforce 4MX 440, and that there's little difference between the GeForce 4
Ti's, especially the 4600 and the 4400.

You can also see what a huge difference the graphics card makes, a machine with a GF4 Ti has almost twice the 3D power of the same with an MX.
It certainly proves that MX is just short for "shit," the Banshee is very close to the GF2 MX's considering it was designed with DirectX 5 and 6
in mind, and can't even run half the tests (such as environmental bump mapping or vertex shader). Taking the GF 2 MX and the Banshee on home
tests with an Athlon 700, and running 3Dmark 2000 (better for the Banshee anyway, 16-bit colour) we got 3dmarks of 1714 vs 2098. My guess is
that on games such as HalfLife and Unreal Tournment, a you're probably better off with a Voodoo 3 than a GeForce 2 MX.
