GeForce2 MX vs. GeForce2 GTS

[WDCentral]

I would like to know what some of the differences are and what card I should go with - I am on a budget but I would like to game.

The MX has half the memory bandwidth, either 128 bit SDR or 64 bit DDR, while the GTS has 128 bit DDR, also half the pixel pipelines.

I honestly don't see a reason to endorse the MX....I mean, the Radeon 32 whips it around in performance and is only a little more expensive...so I'd say either the Radeon 32, the GTS, or the V5. What games do you play?

Certianly not true..... you can get a MX for $30 less than the cheapest 32meg Radeon.

Like Deeko said the MX card has half the memory bandwidth and the MX only has 2 pixel pipelines which can do 2 textures each, while the GTS has 4 pixel pipelines, which can do 2 textures each. The GTS is better for gaming as it is still playable in higher resolutions and will perform better on newer games.
