geforce2mx 64mb?

[jar982]

hey ppl. i saw this card at amazon. and i'm thinking its a really good deal. but is it a typo? do they have 64mb mx's? i checked the visiontek site and they dont have any 64mb mx's listed there. just wondering if u all had seen any 64 mx's around.

Anand did a review of this here. There really doesn't seem to be too much of a difference between the 32 and 64mb versions.

yeah everything ive read shows the 64mb has very little if any performance over the 32mb, its basically marketing.

Read the same thing too. Get a 32MB GTS instead.

ok, but what if i overclocked it? (described here)
here's what i'm thinking.. when overclocked the mx 32mb is comparable to the gts 32mb. the mx400 64mb comes with a core already at 200mhz which is equal to that of the gts. so if i overclocked the memory on the mx400 64mb, it should be pretty close to a gts 64mb. lemme know what u all think

Right now even uder 1600x1200x32 the difference between 32MB and 64MB is extremely minimal and at any lower resolutions/color depths the difference is virtually non-existant. Even overclocked the GF2MX is still far below the performance levels offered by a GF2 GTS.

Due to memory bandwidth limitations the 200MHz core clock on the MX 400 is agin offering virtually no performance boost over the regular MX cards.

I have to agree with the others, a 32MB GF2 GTS is a far better buy then a 64MB MX card, even assuming your able to overclock it heavily beyond spec.

the original geforce DDR .25 mciron (i.e. asus v6800) 32mb card is far faster than a 64mb geforce MX at any resolution in any program.

any time of the day anywhere - anyway, any way...
