3DMark2001
paints the same picture. The lower bandwidth brought
about the lower memory speed causes a decrease
of performance.
Conclusion
Overclockers
can either love or hate this card. People who
need really tough tolerance of high agp speeds
would want this card's stability but performance
seekers would do best to look elsewhere. The maximum
of 175mhz memory speeds (tested on 11 cards) is
really disappointing. I'd advise that buyers look
elsewhere for an MX solution.
But this mean that Gainward's MX line sucks? Hell
no. The Golden Sample is known to reach insanely
high speeds just like the Asus GeForce2 MX (by
reputation only, I have no data to support my
claim). At least the Golden Sample uses better
chips. Can you say EliteMT?
The
bottomline is, the MX is a great solution. Correct.
But is the Gainward vanilla MX a good card? Depends.
Stability wise, yeah but performance wise (and
overclocking-wise) it's so-so. I really suggest
looking for the Gold Sample. Now that's the real
Gainward GeForce2 MX =).
Peace
out.
