Trying to pick one of these cards, and now very confused

[ExcaliburMM]

Original thought:

Hey Anand,
I have a GeForce 4MX and a Radeon 9000LE, both AGP. Both are extremely outdated and low end, and I'm not quite sure which is the better card. Could someone shed some light?

After some research:


Edit: Hold the phone.

It appears one of them is a 'V9400' which is ASUS's way of saying MX4000.

Currently gathering data on the second card. It has no real markings or distinguished features.

GPU-Z isn't helping matters, once PCB is blue (The ASUS) while the other is green but has no markings (MSI?). Apparently they're both 4MX derivatives?

The Radeon 9000 is DX8.1 while the Geforce4 MX is DX7 so I would say the Radeon 9000 is better.

I think the Radeon's better...

Alright, thanks guys. 🙂

Definitely the Radeon.

Whichever you do I recommend taking "shit" out of your title.

Also, as stated the Radeon supports higher features. What games (if any) are you going to play?

Apparently the cards aren't what I thought they were. Added some GPU-Z shots, very confused ATM.
