nvidia geforce 2 mx inquiry...

[kuman]

hi.. first of all.. forgive my ignorance...but here goes..

did nvidia have their own product.. under their label for geforce 2 MX card? man i'm confused.. i know the geforce 2 mx is their technology but what about the card itself under their name?

errr.. a few good nvidia geforce 2 mx card = Abit Siluro, creative and hercules right?

tq for the info again....

The have their own reference video cards, but they only make the chips. As far as I know, you can't buy an NVIDIA brand GeForce 2 MX. VisionTek video cards are about as close as it gets to being an exact duplicate of the original reference design from NVIDIA.

may b u would want to wait for the next gen MX coz it will add support for 128bit ddr ram support. currently it only sports 64-bit ddr which creative is using and it lags behind other using sdram.

hi..

i see... hmmm so nvidia on provide the reference board for geforce 2 mx card.. no wonder i can't find any geforce 2 mx.. that was manufactured by nvidia itself.... hmmm i think my computer hardware supplier misunderstood between Nvidia Geforce 2mx card and the NVIDIA geforce 2 mx brand name... So its final then... no geforce 2 mx card under NVIDIA label..... i'll be back to that store and verify this with the owner... he try to sell me what he claimed as an NVIDIA brand name Geforce 2 mx card....same as Abit Siluro Geforce 2 mx card..

tq..

I hope he wasn't trying to sell you one of those cheap Jaton brand GeForce MX video cards--a mom and pop store speciality item. Did it come with a manual or driver CD?

hey this is a good post

hi..
competitor... i think maybe just have the cd.. i didn't inspect the card in detail because i don't really want to buy something without a clear verification from other end user. I especially like the Creative 3d blaster geforce 2 mx.... i just thought i ask for opinion and thought from others in here..

first of all.... TOUNI.. congratulation for your new family member... he a cute little baby.. congratulations...

COMPELLOR..
that particular card then show me come in a brown box and didn't even have any manufacturer label on the card or the manual... hmmm makes me wonder.., i think it's a left over from a PC assembly plant somewhere.. no wonder they have it soooo cheap... and no HSF or fan on top of the chip... hmm... i think i'll buy from somewhere else..

BTW.. here are the list of GEforce 2 mx card in my selection atthe moment...

- MSI MS-StarForce 8818 GeForce2 MX (MS818)
- MSI MS-StarForce 8816 GeForce2 MX (MS816)
- ELSA Gladiax MX Nvidia GeForce2 MX
- HERCULES 3D Phropet II MX
- ASUS V7100/2V1D GeForce 2 MX
- LEADTEK Winfast GeForce2 MX
- CREATIVE 3D Blaster GeForce2 MX

More than likely it's a VisionTek brand MX video card. VisionTek makes good video cards. I'm using a VisionTek GeForce 2 GTS and love it.
