Which Video Card Is Better?

[==(-{{crusty~butt}}-)==]

alright here is the situation:

When I recieved my computer that ordered and configured online, it wasn't what I had configured.
So in order for me to be happy, the computer manufacturer has offered me a choice of these two
video cards.
128MB nVidia GeForce4 MX440
Nvidia GeForce4 Ti4200 128-MB AGP Graphics Card

so what do you think is the better of the two?

I have 2.0 Ghz pent 4
80 gig HD

....and they also offered my $150 off the price I paid and $150 off a future purchase

can this topic be moved to it's proper location :"> ...
i.e. the hardware section

Definitely the Ti4200. Much faster!

[amphoteric88]

got to agree with above, the ti is much better
the mx series is built on old technology

TI is alot better..my ti 4800 rocks

Yep, no contest, get the Ti4200.

[amphoteric88]

although, you may want to wait a little while and get the geforce fx5200, this is a replacement for the ti4200, and should perform at about the same level
the major improvement is that the fx supports dx9
it's up to you though
i know you're kinda tied in at the moment, but maybe you could wait

thx for the replies and the great feedback :D

..I will do a search on google about the mx440..

..and I wish I could wait for the fx5200 ;) ...but my hands are little tied
with the options they are offering me

...so the ti4200 it is!

one more question for you:

do I have to worry about the ti4200 overheating my processor :(

thx again

[amphoteric88]

no, the ti4200 will have it's own fan, so the temperature of the gpu won't raise the overall system temp
as long as the cpu heatsink/fan is good enough, you shouldn't have any probs
