FSAA Performance

It is only really with FSAA enabled at 640x480x32 that we see any real performance gain from the GeForce2 MX 400's extra core speed. Performing 6% faster, the extra speed could prove to be useful in some cases. It is too bad, however, that the frame rate with FSAA enabled is so low that gameplay is jumpy here.

Once again, we can attribute some of the performance gain to the extra RAM on the GeForce2 MX 400 board we tested. FSAA enabled uses more memory than FSAA disabled (because a scene is rendered multiple times), so the extra memory most likely plays a role in the slight performance advantage of the GeForce2 MX 400.

At 1024x768x32, even though the GeForce2 MX 400 is able to outperform the GeForce2 MX by 19%, the speed increase is useless. This is because running at 10.2 FPS as the GeForce2 MX 400 does at 1024x768x32 with FSAA 4X enabled is far too slow to be playing any game in, especially a first person shooter like Serious Sam.

    Nvidia 2GeForce400MX 64 does not say D or E or Turbo or anything. It is a pain & the AC'97 combo audio driver, conflicts with Nvidia2Geforce400MX
    Have any ideas?. Oh also the owner has knocked off (by accident two of the capacitors) I soldered them back on. any way...
    It will not boot up at all. it has MSI MoBo AMD Althon900Mhz 128MB Ram & I wonder if the MoBo was trashed from unknowing person pulling cards & cables? what do you think?

    A misleading headline for a bogus report. I used to order graphics at http://domyessay.today/ for my reports.
