Posted: November 19, 2000 Written by: Tuan "Solace" Nguyen Analysis Did you see those scores people? If you weren’t thoroughly impressed by the performance gains, then I don’t know what to say. But I’m sure you are, because I am! Increasing memory speeds did a lot for the WinFast MX. We saw performance increases in the area of 7% to 13% improvement on average! Take a look at the average price for any GeForce2 MX card without all the TwinView bells and whistles. As of this writing, you’ll find them for an average selling price of $129USD. That’s a great bargain for what you’re getting in return. You’re getting the latest GPU architecture from NVIDIA for last year’s card’s price -- or even less. Is the GeForce2 MX a fabulous chip? It sure is. I’m already using them in my other systems and I must say they are real fast. Forget all the things you’ve might of heard about how they are value end cards and don’t have enough horsepower to play in the big leagues. The proof is right in front of you. If you’re a serious gamer, you’d go for one of these babies. Conclusion It was fun adding some stuff to our Leadtek WinFast MX. It’s a cool feeling to add your own gimmicks to a card knowing that you’re the one who’s doing the technology improvements. The GeForce2 MX is a great GPU, and one that won’t rip a hole in your wallet. Pick one up for cheap, bring it home, slap on some heatsinks or a fan or both and start churning up the speed. What you come out with is a card that kicks serious butt and you realize you have more than what you paid for -- unless you were ripped off by some evil vendor. You can find a GeForce2 MX based card for as low as $110USD! The GeForce2 MX is a great overclocker. Period. Hope you’ve enjoyed reading.
