It's really baffling how the FX series sold at all, given its utterly abysmal performance for the majority of its time. In the last few months it's made gains, but not enough, and with the release of the new generation it hardly matters now anyway.

GF FX series == P4 Celeron of it's time.

The reason that it sold at all, was ... "But dude! It supports DX9.0!".. even though none of the games at the time supported it, and it was slower than older cards, on those same games.

Kind of like desktop P4s with HT too. Same or slower speed than non-HT chips.

No, the MX is a DX7 card.
No pixel or vertex shaders are supported.

IIRC, the 4MX series has "partial VS1.1" support. But yeah, essentially equal to nothing.

And I'm still not exactly sure why you suddenly interjected the MX = DX7 bit anyhow.

I'll see your GF3Ti200 with an ATI Rage Fury Maxx and a Voodoo 3 3000 AGP. I'm sure I've also got a 512k trident card sitting around here somewhere.

See your cards, and raise you an original Voodoo1 4MB with box and games.

- M4H

I'll raise you both - how about a Diamond Edge 3D 3500? It's an original NV-1 graphics card, with 4MB VRAM, and 64-voice sound synthesis, rounded out by dual Sega Saturn-compatible digital gameports.
(Yes, it's a bit of a strange card, with the first graphics chip that NV ever put out. I consider it a sort of collector's item, myself.)

Oh yeah, and I have an ISA ET6000-based card around here somewhere too.

I'm not sure where you got "MX" out of that, I think that you might need to upgrade your monitor - or maybe your eyeglasses.

[BFG10K]

Pier demo, 10x7, 2x AA and 4x AF. Radeon "9700 pro".

Is the Pier demo indoors and does it use a flashlight? No? Then why use it to counter what I said?

Wtf is an R420?

The X800 series.

My game has only bogged down below 40fps a few times,

"Few times" is quite subjective.

These cards overclock so much the make up any advantage the 9800pro/xt had and trump it all things being equal.

Actually they don't.

:shocked: I was a bit tired and I saw a similiar thread moments before I posted that
Sorry for bringing this thread up
