They start the auction at $1.00 but some idiot will end up paying more than the card is worth. Right now the bidding is at 41 bucks. You could bid it up to about 60 bucks and watch everyone else run it up even higher. ;)

Real bidding doesn't begin until 5 minutes are left on the auction.

"THE NEWEST AND THE LATEST AGP Graphic CARD"

LOL!!

sorry, but that card is worth maybe $50 on pricewatch, its at $41 now with 2 days to go.....i bet ya someone pays $70 for that.

and is it the latest agp graphics card? far from it, the gf2 mx200 performs about on par with a tnt2 ultra.

It's not quite that bad dude.

[RedDeathDrinker]

If you're looking for a basic video card to browse and play some golden oldie games, an MX200 is perfect (I just sold my spare 8Meg ATi card for a tenner).

If you care about 3DMark scores, it's not the card for you.......

uh, yeah it is...benchmarks show its about the same as a tnt2 ultra. its not a very good card, severely limited in memory bandwidth so it cannot pump out any decent frames.

i heard this on the radio one day.

a man bid 2000 dollars on ebay for an auction under the discription.

"big screen tv, great picture"

he recieved a picture of a big screen tv.

money well spent:D

[foxmulder]

Sounds more like a joke than something that actually happened but then again you never know with Ebay

[eh?]

yes but you see, there are more important things than 3Dmark, for playing games i would pick a Voodoo 3 3000 over an Mx200, and a KyroII(64$), or a Radeon LE (51$) and both of these cards are almost twice as fast as an mx200(40$)........its not worth the money.....the Voodoo3 is a much better deal (24$).....

You are on crack. The Ge Force 2 MX creams the Voodoo 5500 so how do you really think a 3000 would hold up?

Quizno, I told you that it wasn't that bad but you wouldn't listen.

And those results were with one of the first MX cards on the market over a year ago!

Here's the whole article that basically spells it out. The TNT2 and the Voodoo cards really suck ass and a MX is actually pretty decent.

hm, I think the old MX is better than the MX200, and I believe this thread is about the MX200, why put a regular MX's benchie?

Your proof is nonsense. A regular MX kills an Mx-200.

MX-200s are junk. I had one (cuz of false advertising but whatever) and I know they are incredibly crappy. I liked my Diamond TNT2 better than that mx-200. I sold it off and got this LE for less money (got it used) and it doubles the speed of the mx-200.

Another thing, the MX doesn't 'cream' a Voodoo 5500. The 5500 is still one of the best cards for picture quality and FSAA. I would take a 5500 over a GTS, let alone an MX anyday.

[funnyperson1]

crack my friend, is something i will never touch and as has been pointed out an MX200 is much worse than an MX....also i agree with Zuck, the video quality of the 5500 is unbeaten, fps isnt everything, why would you really care when a TNT2Ultra or a Voodoo3 can or even a rage Fury Pro can run any game out there at this time?(granted you have a decent cpu).....why dont you buy yourself an mx200 and ill use my Rage Fury Pro (dad's comp) and well see who has a better visual experience and gaming experience in say....max payne?
