It's a GeForce 4 MX, a seriously underpowered and underfeatured version of the GeForce 4. Performance-wise it's similar to a GeForce 2 Pro but is missing the nfiniteFX engine (vertex shader & pixel shader) so it`s nothing more than a fast GeForce 256 card. I would stay away from the GF4 MX cards altogether.

The best is Geforce 4 Ti it will bring ur Graphics alive and it will be great also in epsxe.
GeForce4 Ti 4600-top of the line but if ur money is just $200 then buy Geforce4 Ti 4200 it still great though and it is just $200
this one si GF4:Ti 4200 (64MB)

and this one is GF4:Ti 4600 [128MB] (cool huh)

rei_fox : well .. depends on what graphic card you have now ... its about 20 percent faster than GF2 Ti,and also have better antialiasing,just like Geforce 3 and also have lightspeed memory architecture like Geforce 3,thats means that when you use antialiasing,overall decrease speed is low.GF2 Ti Antialiasing is different story,its slow.Make sure you have compatible mobo with GF4 MX,some mobos didnt work with GF4 MX cards.

i could give you information regarding the card, and even it gets all the MX "reactions" it still runs quake 3 arena at options at maxed (800x600 resolution) at a constant 60 to 70 fps (with 10 bots).
ps: the anti-aliasing features of the MX 440 is fanastic (no noticable slowdowns while running Zinc at 1024x768 res)
if you are on a budget, try this card. i mean it.
you won't be dissapointed.
nabili ko siya sa PC express gilmore, it now costs 5100 Php.
it is still in the hall of fame:

"it`s nothing more than a fast GeForce 256 card"
Wrong, it's got the same feature set as a GeForce 2, it has the same non programmable Shading Rasterizer as the GeForce 2, but no pixel shader or programmable vertex shaders. The GeForce 256 did not have the hardware shading rasterizer, the GeForce 256 also did fewer (half) textures per pass than the GeForce 2 and GeForce 4 MX. What the GeForce 3 added were programmable was a vertex shader and pixel shader so developers cold program their own effects. The GeForce 4 has 2 vertex shaders and 1 pixel shader. Overall, it's about the same as a GeForce 2 Ultra with the addition of accuview AA.
Anyways here's a link to the product page of the Leadtek GF4 MX, a quick scan of the hardware features does show it has the Nvidia Shading Rasterizer, and it does 4 texels per clock as opposed to 2, which were the key differences between the GeForce 2 and GeForce 256.

I agree with the others in this thread to avoid the GeForce 4 MX though unless you really want to save money. As even a GeForce 2 is getting a little old nowadays.

yeah i think the MX series is not as good as the Ti family and since I am also consider upgrading to GF3 ti200 from my original GF2mx. Just keeping in mind that GF4 MX is good enough for emulator games and older PC games but it will become crippled for newer PC games. My old GF2MX is getting pretty slow in newer games...
A GF3 ti200 is costing around $250 Cdn dollars.

·Just my opinion I think the geforce 4 MX is a pretty decent upgrade, Specially if your into emulation. But some of the newer games (Unreal 2 and Doom 3 won't be fully supported by the card)
But Until everquest 2 comes out. I don't even care, by then I'll have another card =p

pare, just like ChrisRay says, it is a pretty decent upgrade from a tnt2.
i'm not even considering buying an expensive video just for emulation cravings. (damn, i really miss my psx very much)
to top it all, i'm even trading my geforce 4 MX 440 to another emugamer here for a Voodoo 5 5500 agp ! (mahirap maghanap dito sa pinas nyan )
oh, i'll be getting also voodoo 3 3000 pci so i'll never worry just in case i decided to upgrade
i really like 3dfx that much.....

gf4 MX cards are supposed to be gf3 mx cards but due to the early release of the gf4 due to the radeon 8500 the gf3 mx cards inherited the gf4 name. btw, these cards aren't any that good they don't even deserve the name geforce 4 (no offense gf4mx owners)

LOTS OF PEOPLE WILL SAY: ITS HORRIBLE, BUT SEE THAT THE VIDEO CARD OF PLAYSTATION HAS ONLY 4MG!!! So the really problem of performance of the games of pc is the softwares( api´s,directx,windows, terrible OS, etc)
Ah, do you know how many memory has the XBOX??? 64. And my computer has 128, but have a bad performance
Obs: Im brazilian, so my english is horrible

The problem is that a PC has to multi-task. You are right, it is a software problem.
The fact remains that while you use windows based games, you need a bigger machine to get performance than a machine whose o/s is dedicated to gaming.
Thus Why I would say get a GeForce Ti 4200, or a GeForce 3, and skip the MX series.

G-pitts only said his opinion and i also agree with him.
i have the card but since it is slow although not that slow as the savage line of cards, it cannot be compared to the geforce series.
ps. keep on topic ok?
