With the GeForce 3 based line of cards gaining momentum in the graphic
card arena, does the market still hold a place for the GeForce 2's?
For now definitely that's a "YES". No need to take my word for it,
just read some of those GeForce 3 reviews out there. Notice how the
Ultra gets the edge over the GeForce 3. The reason; well it's quite
simple really. The GeForce 2 Ultra cards have been optimised well
for today's games, and as for the GeForce 3 cards, well we got to
wait a few more months to see the splendours of the InfiniteFX engine.
So the question remains, where does the GeForce 2 market stand today?
At the moment it's still at the same position as before. Fact is right
now the investment on a GeForce 3 cannot be justified and as a result
the potential of the GeForce 2 still remains. The GeForce 2 line of
graphic cards offer the most diverse range of products to consumers
of all norms.
With the introduction of the GeForce 3 every graphics card manufacture
seems to be gearing up to reap the fruits from the high-end gaming
market. With everybody focusing on the high-end side, we at Technoyard
decided to think of the mediocre gaming folk and today we bring to
you the Gigabyte GeForce 2 MX 400.
If you're new to this arena the GeForce2 MX chip, has been designed
for the budget conscious folk among us. Initially when Nvidia launched
the GeForce2 MX chip their main goal was to increase market share
from 20% to 60% with their new product.
Last year we witnessed some of the best flurry among video card manufactures
when nVidia and ATI were on a head to head battle to out perform each
other. Before ATI came to the scene nVidia pretty much secured the
high-end gaming market with their GeForce 2 GPU. ATI fired back by
introducing the Radeon chip a few months later. A company not known
for their high-end graphic products, overnight became a force to recon
with.
Not to be outdone nVidia recently introduced the GeForce 2MX 200
and the Geforce 2 MX400 chipsets in order to secure their positioning
the value gaming market with sheer brute force. The GeForce 2 MX 400
is the newest addition to the GeForce 2 MX range of cards. So what
does it have in offer to out perform its predecessor?
