Default GeForce4 MX
I have a GeForce256 (32 MB DDR, I think, it's OEM). Will a GeForce4 MX completely trash my card or will the performance difference not be that great?

From my experience MX are garbage, get a TI4200 or 4600.

yeah i went from a gf2 mx to a gf4 ti4200 128mb, and the performance boost was huge especially with the latest drivers, on a good day i can run ut2k3 on max everything and laff, but
ive got (opflashpoin , all quakes, all unreals, rotw, avp2 wc3 and more) all of them will run happily at max in 1024x768x32 at about 40fps, no to mention i can keep ut runny at 40fps minimum online (56k).

Trust me the performance leap is massive, get yourself one with good config options/software tho

I hear the new gforce fx cards gpu`s outstrip p4`s in speed but i also here that they sound like a jumbo jet and produce enuff heat to cook a roast..

But with my gf4 ive had a lot of fun there great. Go for the ti4200 tho as mx is just the same as all other mx cards but now its being pushed to its limit.

I dont see there being any further releases in the mx cards. So yeah a gf4 ti4200 (get one with 8agpx if you can / pc supports it)

I'm not made of money.

Does anybody know if my specific card compared to a Geforce4 MX will be a good upgrade? I'm not looking to throw a bunch of money at this computer because in a year or two I'm just going to buy a G4 tower.

The ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128MB AGP is only $129. I currently run it in my computer and it's very good. I recommend it.

More information at [http://mirror.ati.com/products/pc/ra...pro/index.html]. Enjoy!

I don't want to spend more than $80. Preferably I'm going to be lurking at http://www.techbargains.com/ and grab it when it goes on major sale.

Try a Geforce3 TI 200, I got my stepdad a gainward retail at newegg for 90$

Bestbuy or something had a Ti4200 64MB for around 80$ also..

CompUSA's deal just died for the same thing..
