What is better Geforce 256 DDR or Geforce 2 MX

[GladiatorMaximus]

What is better? What happened to the 256 DDR i heard nvida discontinued it's production.

 

[Henry Kuo]

I think DDR is better.

The GeForce DDR is slightly faster at lower resolutions but at higher resolutions it is much faster. I have heard rumor that Creative will be releasing a GeForce 2mx with DDR memory for around $150. If this is true that card will mop the floor with the GeForce DDR. Waiting to see!

 

[KarsinTheHutt]

don't be so sure about the MX DDR though... MX only supports 64 bit DDR SDRAM, which is essentially the same as 128 bit SDR. I don't think there will be much difference.

I used to have a DDR board but ditched it for the MX. The "speed" is a tad slower in games, but the image quality is higher quality on the MX. I have yet to experiance a video lockup with the MX.

I had a hell of a time trying to get my DDR board stable. I can finally play NFS5 without lockups.

ddr more faster than geforce2 mx, the geforce2 mx can beat sdr

 

[utopia]

from fastest to slowest

ultra
gts 64mb
gts 32mb
gf ddr
gf mx
gf sdr

GeForce DDR needs about 5-6 times the power that the MX uses. I think that register combiners are also not available on the original GeForce, so you're missing a feature (although not that significant). MX also has better control over image quality.

I'm using an MX over here, and loving it. But if I had the exta dough (and a 300W power supply), I'd have gone with a DDR.

 

[utopia]

the 2 stage pipeline cripples the MX.

The mx ddr will be the same speed as a sdr mx. the ddr uses 4 times the power. its also up to 50% faster in resolutions abot 1024-768. the SDR is actually faster than the mx in q3 16 bit color.

DDR all the way

Plus i nabbed a DDR for only 120 bucks. much better than a mx

 

[utopia]

Now we have the "Pro"... Slower than Ultra, faster than GTS

 

[Bignate603]

I've heard that the mx has an advantage on texture output. All in all, I think the DDR is very comparable though. If you got the geforce DDR, don't worry about upgrading.

 

[ToXiCRaGE]

someone watched here too much of "Gladiator" ...

 

[ss284]

mx to a DDR would be called an upgrade, not the other way around.

I have both, and they offer very similar performance--IF you overclock the MX memory to 200. I prefer the MX since it uses less power and produces less heat.

Thanks guys all great answers except for one !! Hey you yes you I only watched Gladiator twice by he way the second part of my name is my real name but it was taken so .... I had to improvise
