Edit: The performance of the GF4 Ti4600 is no surprise, though I still wish they'd look at the DVD decoding abilities. The new MX line leaves some to be desired, however:



<< We're seeing the GF3 leave the NVIDIA lineup entirely, only to be succeeded by the GeForce4 MX series of card?a card that is absent of the independent hardware pixel and vertex shaders found in the GF3 series and GeForce4 Titanium series of card.

Is the GeForce4 MX a bad card? No absolutely not and it will be a nice value for around the US$170 price point it is most likely to occupy.

With that said, the GeForce4 MX460 card we tested is far from being anything but impressive for what it is. At this moment, if I was in the market to purchase a sub-US$200 VidCard to keep around for a while, my sights would be firmly set on either a GeForce3 Ti200 or the RadeonLE series card announced this week.

NVIDIA has still not made up their minds on the low end GeForce4 Ti4200 (at US$199) so we do not know when it is going to be on the store shelves. All three cards will give you the specialized shader functions that many of the new games are going to be taking advantage of. There will be some overlap in the market for a while, and if you're looking for an NVIDIA-based video card at a great price, I highly suggest you look around for GeForce3 Ti200 cards before they're gone from the shelves if you have to have one today. If you are not in a big rush I would certainly wait to see how the GeForce4 Ti4200 and RadeonLE pan out in testing. >>
