Poll: Leadtek Geforce 3 TI 200 or Leadtek Geforce 4 MX 440?

[Phoenix15]

I need a new video card. What do you guys/girls thinkI should go with. I could get a Geforce 3 TI 200 for $129, or a Geforce 4 MX440 for $99. What would be my best bet? Any other recomendations in the $100 to $130 range?

74% for the Gf 3. Are the MX's that bad? 🙂

In a word, yes.

Just ask John Carmack.

Viper GTS

Here's one brought to us by our dear friend Anand

Not really that bad, but only worth spending about $25 for.

I was told that the GeForce4 MX's are basically GeForce2's with a few added useless options...

Basically yes, no DirectX8, no HW pixel or vertex shaders. Stick with the Ti200. You can easily OC to regular Geforce levels without pushing the card at all. Some even have it at Ti500 levels.

I got my Radeon8500 for $123 from gateway a few weeks back. It runs all games well and I love the tv-out.

I made a poll like this a while back when deciding. Based on recommendations i got the gf 3 ti 200. You'll be able to clock it to near-TI 500 performance levels.

Unlike the GF 4 MX the gf3 has full DX8 support. John carmack says doom will run better on GF3 ti 200. That's about all you need to hear.

go with G4MX460

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Definitely go with the Geforce3 Ti. If you absolutely must stay under $100 you'd probably get better performance out of a GeForce2 Pro with 64 megs than you would out of a Geforce4 MX. Call me biased, but I'll never buy any NVidia card with the letters MX in the name.
