Although I do consider that motherboard is the most vital part of your system, it doesn't mean we are leaving graphics cards to the second spot. Most of you are familiar with their fine products. TNT2 Ultra, all of these names are well known to most people interested in computer games. Six months later, Nvidia made another announcement, and introduced the GeForce2 family. Yes, but this all came at a healthy price increase.
Lets find out.
The MX based cards have been on the market for a while now, but I still would like to go shortly over the specs of this chipset. But unlike original GeForce, who also featured four pipelines, GeForce2 MX can process two textures per pipeline in a single clock cycle thanks to the new and improved design. The MX's core is clocked at 175MHz, which can handle up to 20 million triangles per second at peak rates. As a result of a smaller die size, MX based cards do not require any active cooling, and in some cases you'll be able to find cards without heatsinks either. One of the new features of MX cards is its 'TwinView Support'.
