Listen up guys......mx440 at Compusa for $50 after rebates

Yes you heard me right, theres a special at Compusa. That Geforce4 mx440 is $80 minus $30 in rebates. Whats special about that its made by Maddog and the rams clocked at 500MHz :eek: regular mx440s should be at 400MHz, the mad dog one is a plus edition. one guy got it to 320/720 :eek: I wish I could buy it but I need to save my funds but you guys can try that, if you get a good overclock on it and your cpu is high end, you should break 9k easy, maybe........even 10k :eek: also isnt it true if you get a really good oc like 375/700 it can match a stock ti4200 in older dx7 games?

What is your obsession with buying outdated hardware and that? First you'll say it sucks, then buy one (like the 5200) then move on to the next.

imo it's not too terrible of a card but at this point when direct x 8.1/9 games are becomming more and more popular it's kind of stupid to get a card that only supports direct x 7 and isn't very fast to begin with...

*EDIT* and if you already have a ti4200...ti500...and a ti200 and a mx440 then what's the point of buying another one?

I should break 9k easy on that mx440, I hear the mad dog ones clock really nice but im passing on. however those wishing to get high scores or just want a cheap card can get that one. itll be a great upgrade from the geforce2s some of you still have or if your building another rig. not everyone wants to spend on a ti4200, also if that mad dog overclocks good like the last guy had it, itll be like a ti4200 without dx8

omg what is your obsession with 3dmark and horrible performing cards? Man you should get checked out. Do you feel ok?

Let's just get one thing straight tbird. The MX440 is a gussied up geforce 2 with a serious identity crisis. It's DX7, and pretty much just sucks the big one in most games. You have to be crazy to think that you would get 9k on that. It's DX7, it won't even run half the tests. When i had my 1.4tbird, and my ELSA geforce 2 gts, i got just over 3000. How are you going to TRIPLE that score?

"omg what is your obsession with 3dmark and horrible performing cards? Man you should get checked out. Do you feel ok?"


see my sig, im a 3dmark whore! and 10k on an mx440 is more than what many people get with geforce3s :eek:


"The MX440 is a gussied up geforce 2 with a serious identity crisis."


I thought it was a slightly neurtured ti4200 :confused:



"It's DX7, and pretty much just sucks the big one in most games."


almost all games will still run on dx7 cards, even doom3 requires a geforce minimum also doom3 is openGL too, so a dx7 card wont lose ya much anyway.


"You have to be crazy to think that you would get 9k on that. It's DX7, it won't even run half the tests."


it runs everything but nature and im at 8883, see my sig. my mx440 is at 330/550. If that mad dog one does say 350/650 I will be at like 9500 marks :eek:


"When i had my 1.4tbird, and my ELSA geforce 2 gts, i got just over 3000. How are you going to TRIPLE that score?"


the mx440 is superior over the mx400, plus my cpu is superior over yours. The mx440 is basically a ti4200 with dx7 and not running nature eats a big chunk of the score. some say its a geforce2, in a way it is but a much improved one. for $50, you cant beat that also those overclock godly

Not to cause problems... But you do know that all the money you spent on those ummm subpar video cards could of gotten you a better setup :D

No matter what the reason, that cannot change the fact that you are getting low scores on sub-par cards. Sell all of the old cards you bought and buy a 9800!:D

Hey if you like getting these cards more power to you, but I just thought that if your a 3dmark whore, you'd at least get a card that will run it pretty good.:D Good Luck with your strange hobby.:)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

couldn't have said it better myself.

cutting edge with stuffs when it comes available, less a couple of months for the hype price to disappear, yeah, he lives in the past when it comes to vid cards.

what is there to prove, other than the fact he can get an good score on an ancient card that most of us in the clocking community would not use today anyway. it is pointless after the fact, in my mind.

sorry, i am motivated by cutting edge and beating the MAN. prommies help. clocking a barton 2500+ to 2.9gig rocks, clocking a P133 to 166 in todays environment, well, maybe an extreme example, but you get my drift, comparitively speaking.

whatever.

won't loose much? just because the game uses opengl it doesn't mean the game will be less demanding than direct x games...and it doesn't change the fact that the game relies heavily on the use of pixel and vertex shaders...a mx440 will run doom 3...but don't expect any detail setting to run the game fine...unless it's the lowest...

the mx440 is far from a ti4200...the ti4200 uses a 4x2 layout which leads to 8 textures per clock...and the mx440 uses a 2x2 layout which is only 4 textures per clock...along with lack of direct x 8 support...I honestly don't see why anyone would recommend a mx440 at this point...unless they like to spend money on outdated hardware and like to upgrade often...

Man your just...****ed. I have an mx440 and can give first hand opinions, it sucks!

theres an asus 64mb ti4200 for $69 after rebates at fry's
theres also the radeon 9100 for $49 after rebates....

why would anyone buy the mx440 with the other two choices?

I'll give you one guess who would :eek: :D ;)
