nVidia just released *two* new Geforce2 MX chips...

The MX 200 and 400.... not sure how they will perform yet. Nice idea though....

Did I beat NSF4?

 

[TimeKeeper]

Isn't the MX200 also know as MX Lite?
The one they have it on sale at Bunta?

 

[xtreme2k]

The 400 is just a normal good old MX

 

[BFG10K]

Hmmm, it looks like they might be trying to compete with the Radeon LE and the VE.

Did I beat NSF4?

Quite possibly. I've already beaten him twice with a GF3 preview and GF3s for sale in Japan.

<< Did I beat NSF4? >>


No, but you might have beat NFS4

 

[Frost]

lol!

 

[Zeeliv]

Been playing too much Deus Ex?

 

[bluemax]

Don't know anything about Deus Ex, but since I have a Voodoo5, perhaps I *should* check it out.

The 400 sure looks normal... perhaps clocked higher than the original? The 200 is half-core. Hey, for under $100 Canadian, I'd consider it. Integrated on a mobo? I'd love it!
Mind you, I've seen some MXes EASILY under $150 Canadian lately.... just like the Americans with their $80 cards. $80US = ~$120-125CDN. I've almost seen 'em that cheap.
Then add tax. :|

&quot;The GeForce2 MX family now includes two new GPUs--the original GeForce2 MX (128-bit SDR/64-bit DDR/64-bit SDR solutions); the GeForce2 MX 200 (64-bit SDR solution); and the GeForce2 MX 400 (64-bit DDR/128-bit SDR) ? for the most cost-effective, flexible graphics solutions available. &quot;

Yes I read my own link.
The original Geforce2 MX looks exactly the same as the 400 though... what am I not seeing?

 

[NFS4]

I've had the news in my inbox for the past two days but haven't gotten around to posting it

My thoughts exactly. Besides minor clockspeed changes, I wonder NVIDIA is perhaps switching to a .15u process? (Shipments in 30-60 days according to NV).

 

[Leo V]

Any thoughts on the potential die shrink?

The 400 doesn't support 64bit SDR solutions.

The MX and MX-200 have the same fill rate, but the MX has greater memory bandwidth. The MX and MX-400 have the same memory bandwidth, but the MX-400 has greater fill rate.

[Noriaki]

Uhmm so basically a GF2MX with 1.3GB/s memory bandwidth is now known as a GF2MX 200. And one with 2.7GB/s memory bandwidth is now a GF2MX 400. What's the big deal?

I want a GF3MX...the GF2MX is old news. lol

 

[formulav8]

The 128bit sdr version is faster then the 64bit ddr version

 

[bluemax]

Well, the 400 may be able to outperform a Geforce DDR, and I'd HAPPILY take one if it supported some of the GF3's features by new drivers or something. Quincux FSAA would make it all worth it.

I wonder how much stronger the T&amp;L unit of the GF3 is?
