Geforce 4 MX440 ????????

**rob64** · April 8th, 2002, 21:56

I will be soon perchasing a Geforce 4 MX440 and I was wanting to know will it be compatable with 1964 and Project 64

ROB64:

highly compatible. its just a beefed up geforce 2mx from wat ive heard. any newish NVIDIA card will be perfect for them.

Has more to do with tech talk then 1964 imo.

rob64 do not get a gf4mx. a gf3 ti200 is better than that card...

**Slougi** · April 9th, 2002, 05:24

Well, a GF3Ti200 has more features but is slower. Overall I would choose a gf3ti200 though, because of the vertex and pixel shaders. However if u need dualhead a gf4mx might actually not be such a bad buy.

get a geforce3 or wait for a gf4 ti4200 or try the gf3ti200 128mb

any gf3 delivers performance which is satisfactory for current games. And there is 1% difference between 128MB and 64MB cards, it's not worth the extra money imo.

dear god i hope you mean in just pj64, CAUSE DAMN, doubling memory in video=

SWEET!!!

in any respect

I have a Geforce4 MX 420 and it is just fine. You get a lot of speed for the dollar. You have all the driver features of all the other geforce cards because all the cards use the same drivers. I'd highly recommend it unless you have enough to spend $400 on a Geforce 4 TI ***** I don't i know that. Any way it's a good card. Plus the Memory Archetecture II(2) can be up to 5x the speed of any geforce 2 mx's speed.

Umm.. how can I say this so it won't seem insulting?
No.. not really not at all?

The problem is that 128MB 256 bit wide bus... see there it is.
The GeeForce cards are VERY bandwidth limited and have some serious flaws when you have a highly detailed image (polygons we'll call it). Now they 'jingle' magic numbers a lot and the numbers they give you are kind of flawed sadly. Since the reality is they are a just a bit better than a Kyro in terms of performance.

Because GF's use a BFI method (commonly called brute force but ignorant) they can do lots of cool stuff in a short amount of time except the bus gets in the way. RAMBUS would be better for GeeForce cards to get better performace. Rambus is too expensive though. This is why they've been pushing the DDR bus as hard as they can for more speed.
128M will not help you any in that respect. it just means it might improve things that use lots of textures some. Some.
