Please can someone tell me if this new card is an MX or MX200?

[Deanodarlo]

A new card has emerged, the ELSA GLADIAC MX, AGP, 32 MB SDRAM.

This card has been bought in bulk by dabs.com over here in the UK, and is dirt cheap for the performance it offers (£58 including all extras)

Only problem is I'm totally confused with nvidia releasing MX200 and MX400 chips.

I know the MX200 is slower than the original MX, but I can't tell which chipset this new model has. It says "MX", but since the more expensive model describes "MX400" have elsa been sly and omitted the 200 off the cheaper card?

Here is the link, original MX or MX200 I ask all you peeps?

Thanks again for the help.

dont know for sure, but im 99% sure its just an mx. if it was an mx200, it would say. think about it, your average idiot would think: mx, mx200, mx400, the mx is the worst, mx200 is in the middle, and mx400 is the best. but of course we know its not like that. and they wouldnt hide it anyways. especially elsa, but really i dont think any video card manufacturer would.

An MX 200 actually has the 200 printed on the chip....we found out about 2 weeks ago on an unknown card we got. The benchmarks showed that performance was not up to snuff, and then lifting the heatsink off to look at the chip proved it.

wait, i thought the original MX was an MX 200, and the new 64 meg version is the MX 400.. i don' think theres much of a performance hit but i would say that you just have the " normal" mx just like me?!

no the 200 and 400 are new.

It looks like the original to me.
They list others as the 400, so I think they would say if it was a 200
