The performance gain wasn't satisfied. But when the cpus were upgraded, the performance went up. |

| 63770 | 2002-07-21 04:12:00 | here's why cpu is important for 3d www.anandtech.com As i said earlier, you'll get better performance but not by much since your cpu is kinda slow. |

| 63771 | 2002-07-21 07:01:00 | I agree there will be a difference for me from a crud card to a Geforce but if I had a better CPU I would get more productive results....... I think I might stick with my Geforce 256 with 32mb of DDR Ram! Unless I see a good reason to change - but on the benchmarks on a site (Link Posted Before) The Geforce 256 with DDR Ram out performaced the MX's by far! |

| 63772 | 2002-07-22 02:33:00 | sorry gigo this is in response to boom23 boom you say that you get 60-99 fps on counter-strike?? with a geforce2 mx!! what res u runnin at dude?? i run RTCW at 1024x768 on my AMD Athlon XP 1800+ Geforce 2 MX 400, 256 DDR RAM and get about 20-80fps (depending on what area im in on the game) |

| 63773 | 2002-07-22 02:45:00 | >(depending on what area im in on the game) exactly ;-) to compare systems you need to run the same exact benchmarks at the exact same settings before you can compare. |

| 63774 | 2002-07-22 06:39:00 | Jeeze 20fps how often that happen...... | Gigo (1128) | ||
| 63775 | 2002-07-22 06:53:00 | 800x600 resolution. it's good enough for gf2 mx. i get round 60fps when there are alot of players and smoke and 99fps normally. |

| 63776 | 2002-07-22 07:15:00 | How great is a cheap Geforce 4 MX? | Gigo (1128) | ||
| 63777 | 2002-07-22 09:51:00 | In my opinion, you'd be better to wait untill the Geforce5 comes out (should be no more than a few months) as the price of the other geforces will drop quite a bit, and you may be able to get a good geforce4 for the price of a decent geforce2 today. Craig. |

| 63778 | 2002-07-22 10:02:00 | My info is a few months old but i found that the Mx400 was best price/performance for most work. if you are a super hame head then wait for G-force 5 as stated above. the Mx400 works well for all games i have tried. and alwasy shop around because i found $100 diffrence between two shops on the same card! |
