Hmm... Actually it looks more like the performance of a Geforce SDR for the price of a Geforce SDR. The Geforce DDR still spanks it all over the place in anything past 800x600x32bit. That 166mhz SDRAM holds it back a lot, but I guess also keeps it cheap at $119.
Definitely an awesome card for the price. It beats out the SDR slightly, plus has LOT better feature set. No more high power drain (only 4 watts, half the GF2, 1/4 the Geforce), dual display out, the NSR from the GF2, and the same T&L unit running 175mhz for about 20million vertices/second.
If you were planning on getting a Geforce SDR or TNT2 Ultra, definitely dump that in favor of the MX.
I hope they decide to make an MX DDR. They should be able to release that for $199. Right now if the GF2 is too espensive and the MX is too slow, theres nothing in between to fill the $180-220 price ran expect the old Geforce DDR which has less features and some compatibility issues. An MX DDR could REALLY kick *** . I'd buy one, at least. Guess I'll just have to wait for the GF2 to drop more or just get the old GF DDR and play with my IO voltage.
