trade out my cl geforce2 gts for pny geforce4 mx440?

Mr. Potatoehead · 05-28-04, 10:53 AM

I picked up one of the pny geforce4 mx440 for 9.99 after rebate from frys.
Is this card faster than my creative labs geforce2 gts I have in my
machine currently or should I take it back and not waste my time or
keep it for my son's machine?

Thanks

for the better part of ten bucks, that's a good deal. i'd keep it for a spare, throw it in a second rig, or the kids.

pop it in yours first though. only takes a few moments. fire up 3dmark01 and see which comes out on top. if you overclock your video, see how far you can ratchet this new card up!

Even though its a dx7 card you would be surprised how good an mx440 can be for the price.

I had one overclocked to 275/550 and I could run 1024x768 with medium settings on most of my games.

I was under the impression that the gf4 mx400 was basically a suped up gf2 at its heart. I would think it would kick your gf2's butt by a noticable margin myself. I'm not 100% on that though.

gf2 gts's and ti's were pretty quick actually. could be overclocked a bunch too. i remember back in the day, gf2ti's beating up on gf3's in some games (after being heavily overclocked of course).

The MX440 is a beefed up mx400, which is still an mx core. The GTS is a higher end card, but like someone else said, best to just try them both out. You can use the same drivers so its pretty easy. I have that exact same PNY MX440, only i bought it two years ago for 99 dollars lol. Been a great backup card. My fx5800 ultra is a little quicker though

I'm hopping this card will tie me over when I build a new machine and wait for
the aiw 9800 to drop in price to a more affordable price.
Gee, I think I paid 220 bucks for my geforce2 when it came out.

Steven4563 · 05-28-04, 04:41 PM

i did have a PNY MX440 great little overclocker i could get around 340mhz core if i remember but id says its faster than your GF2 GTS

Mr. Potatoehead · 05-29-04, 09:55 PM

Interesting,
my geforce2 gives 6203 for 3dmark1
and the mx440 gives only 5830.

Cerberus2k7 · 05-30-04, 01:17 PM

God that's sad...My 5600 was bearly 1000 points more than your GF2 at stock speeds haha. Got a 3000 point increase though after overclocking.

DONTSLEEP · 05-30-04, 02:02 PM

3k overclocking a 5600 alone is pretty good,whats ur oc clock?

Or was it a CPU and video card oc together?

Mr. Potatoehead · 05-30-04, 06:28 PM

How do I overclock this card?
