Compusa geforce4 mx440 plus for $50

[Overclocker550]

Yes you heard me right, theres a special at Compusa. That Geforce4 mx440 is $80 minus $30 in rebates. Whats special about that its made by Maddog and the rams clocked at 500MHz :eek: regular mx440s should be at 400MHz, the mad dog one is a plus edition. one guy got it to 320/720 :eek: I wish I could buy it but I need to save my funds but you guys can try that, if you get a good overclock on it and your cpu is high end, you should break 9k easy, maybe........even 10k :eek: also isnt it true if you get a really good oc like 375/700 it can match a stock ti4200 in older dx7 games?

Does the step up to 8X for these help them any?? Last I remember, the MX440's were marginally better than GF2 MX400's, and worse than GF3 Ti500's (let alone a GF4 Ti4XXX).

I got a 4X AGP Maddog MX440 64MB card last year....it's nothing to really write home about, IMO. To tell you the truth, I was so impressed with it, I had it in my server for a long while, running UT2003....UT2003 dedicated server, that is....:p

(UT2003 dedicated server runs from a DOS prompt...;) )

Frankly, I'd save up and pony up the dough for a $99 Ti4200, or FX5200.

My $.02

I'm betting it would beat an FX5200 for half the price.

[Voodoo_fx]

doubt it...

FX isn't that bad when coupled with a descent CPU to carry it on its back.... :P

[Overclocker550]

the mx440 would beat a 64 bit fx5200 or maybe a 128 bit one at stock assuming you have an mx440 that clocks very high. reguardless, the sales probably over by now and additionally this would be a good bragging chance at 10k marks. I would take a ti200 instead for games anyhow, I only give praises to the maddog mx440 because of how high one guy got it to, said its like a ti4200 to him minus dx8, go figure

[blohin]

well i need some more money to go for better card, ram on mine was 512MHz (stock).

Wish i can buy FX5900 mmmmmmm....

From what I've been reading, the FX5200 falls somewhere in between the MX440 and Ti4200, performance-wise. The Ti4200 is better than the FX5200.

I'm thinking my next vid card upgrade will be a 9700 Pro. It's just slightly behind the FX5900 performance-wise, but a lot cheaper now that the 9800 Pro is out.

Unless you just really love to 3dmark (like OC550), then spend the extra few bucks for even the 5200. I ran a MX440 for a while and I was entirely unimpressed, even when I was hitting 8k with it.

Personally I think the 9500 Pro is still a good deal at 160.
