[Fire_Monkey]

post threads about tech information in the "tech" forum

and the MX's are business class graphics card, use a Ti4600

[The Eternal]

????????????????

[culkid]

ITS A FRICKING VIDEO CARD JEEZE

[tmax]

we know its a video card but you killing us with a question of utter stupidity that makes no sense...we were trying to figure out what you were asking about

[ABRAXAAS]

I use it right now untill the radeon 9900 pro comes out ,for the price its good ,I use the MSI and I have had no problems I have over clocked it and it runs smooth, not so good for unreal 2 but plays ut2003 really good .

[Revulsion]

All MX versions are kinda crappy. They are considered a very low end budget card. I would get a nice ti4200 if money is a problem, runs great

[Fire_Monkey]

moderator please move this thread to the tech forum.

I'm no fan of Culkid, and this is the wrong forum, but come on people! It's easy to connect the title of the thread and the only words of the post into one sentence! "How is the GeFoce 4 MX 440?"

To answer that question, it sucks. Don't waste your money on it. It comes standard with a lot of computers for a reason. It's inexpensive and makes the computer look better since it has a video card, especially with the title "GeForce 4". Get a GeForce 4 Ti4200 if you don't want to spend too much, but still get a good card.

[Timormi]

get the Radeon 9800 when it comes out or get the current 9700 Pro when the 9800 comes out since the prices are gonna drop...

[Fire_Monkey]

Just to be nitpicky, the Radeons come out in 200 increments, thus 9500, 9700 so the next one will be a 9900.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

what about the 9000?

[Hellsfire123]

<cough> Tech forum! <cough>

Geforce MX = Overclocked geforce3

Get the Ti's, wait for the FX, or try out the new radeons.

[Nightmare]

It's impossible to know what they'll throw out next. It used to be increments of 500, now its 200, apparently. I've heard rumors that the next will be called the 9800, but I have no way of knowing if it's right or not.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

FX is available now. Alienware has added it to their systems as an option. Limited availability though.

[Arshune]

I heard they recalled a lot of FX's because they weren't up to par and the high end one's fan was loud...that's probably just a rumor though.

[ABRAXAAS]

yeah to bad it suxxors the coxxors;)

[Nightmare]

I read a reveiw comparing the FX to the 9700 Pro, I forget where though. Those two cards are fricking neck and neck. It's nearly impossible to tell the difference. The only problem with the FX is that it' LOUD. I would go with the 9700 Pro, assuming it costs less.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

Well no it doesn't suck but it sure didn't live up the hype. It beats the radeon 9700 but not by any huge margin like most nvidia fans were hoping for. As far as the fan thing goes... I sure hope they did something. That fan drowns out my vacuum cleaner.

[ABRAXAAS]

There bringing out 2 modells both of wich will rock nvidia, the 9800 pro 128 mb , and the 9900 pro 256mb :D

[Arshune]

Actually I just looked around a little and found another rumor that the next iteration of the FX will be liquid cooled...that seems horrendously implausible to me though.

Well, this thread has officially went beyond my knoweldge of computer hardware.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

I actually think it's a better idea than what they have right now. I would imagine that it would take up an ass load of room in your case though. You would reach cooler temps and it would produce less noise. Don't know all of the drawbacks though.

[Arshune]

I was always taught that electronics didn't like liquid...but hey, my strobe light didn't work when it was dry, so I don't think that class taught me right.

[ABRAXAAS]

liquid cooled just passes coold water over teh heatsink instead of air , I think :D im 78.923% sure;)

[Nightmare]

hmm... *throws bucket of water on computer* Hey, it's making it hotter! AH, FIRE!! :flamemad:

Really though, they are making WAY too many variatons of the same card. I can understand 3 versions, those being best, good, affordabe, but with so many different manufacturers, it ges way too complicated. Gainward, BFG, Sapphire, Hercules... AAAHHHHHH, WHICH IS WHICH?!?!?!

[mistled]

Here's a link to a diagram of a liquid cooled server case, for those that are interested.

The main drawback to liquid cooling is it's really expensive. The case in the above link is $480.00
