I just started playing MOHAA. I have had my trusty Geforce2MX200 for quite a while now. It chokes on this game. I've played Max Payne, Half-Life, RTCW, and a couple other modern games with no problem. I guess it has finally met its match.

Yep!

My Radeon 32DDR is starting to run out of steam too for the newer games.

I'm waiting for the Radeon 8500's to fall in price a little more then I'll grab one up.

Visiontek sucks IMHO. I have the GeForce 2 GTS and it's garbage compared to one like Hercules and LeadTek.

my slightly OC'ed GF2 MX 400 runs MOHAA just fine at 1024x768 with every graphic option turned up. It is OC'ed to 220/356. Is yours OC'ed? If not try OC'ing before upgrading =P

HEHEHE... Love my Leadtek GF2 Ti. Most Leadtek cards are great, but may require cooling gear to get the most out of them.

GF2MX400's score in the 2500-4000 range unless you've gone really extreme. I have seen scores around 5000, but that takes a fast cpu and some crazy cooling mods.
