  • Radeon 7000 VS. Geforce 2 mx

    Does anyone know how the Radeon 7000 32mb ddr compares to the GF2mx line of cards?

    I bought a Radeon 7000 card at best buy today (open Item) for 60.00 bucks. A computer Fair is in town tomorrow and I was curious to see if I would be better off getting a geforce 2 mx card instead....

    I am basicly looking for the best bang for the buck but keeping the price around what I have invested in the radeon card.

    With the newest leaked drivers for the ATI card I get 1564 points in 3dmark2001. Which is alot better drivers then the ones that were on the retail cd. My score before the driver update was only 954.

    Should I just keep the Radeon or Look for a GF2 MX (200-400)?

    Edit: upto 1740 points with all stock settings

    Hmm doesnt sound quite right. I have Radeon 7200 which has slower SDR memory and it scores with drivers default settings around 2500 on 3Dmark 2001 SE - which btw is about 300 points more I ever got with overclocked Geforge 2 MX card.

    Oh and I only have 800Mhz thunderbird.

    Try updating your drivers is my advice. The latest beta from Ati site has been working great for me.

          Will do wiggo!

          BTW... I did end up picking up and Abit Siluro T400 (GF2mx 400)
          with 64mb of DDR for 70.00 bucks.

          With 3dmark2001 (original) I get 2323 3dmarks with the retail drivers and stock settings. The pc specs are mentioned above.
          I was impressed!

                Finally got time to update the det drivers and the 4-inone drivers for my board.

                Final results are a little over 2500 points and I even toned my CPU down to stock settings

                  Good. Thats more of a score you should be getting with DDR memory. I didnt belive there would be such an difference with 32 and 64mb cards though. I have tried 32mb and 64mb MX cards and they performed really similar - at least with 3DMark.

                  And have to remember that benchmark score is nothing if your not happy with the card doing the things you do with your comp..


                  Cheers!

                  Edit: Doh! just noticed that you were talking about Geforce2 MX score there.. ignore what I just said hehe ...

                        Yes there are some out there fitted with DDR memory though the memory pathway is still the same width as the SDRAM versions. :devil:
