The GeForce 2 MX is still playable at 1280x1024x16, but it's getting a bit slow. Meanwhile, 32-bit color performance has fallen dramatically due to memory bandwidth constraints. However, its still able to outrun the GeForce SDR by a noticeable amount. The Voodoo5 has now firmly secured second place behind the GeForce 2 GTS.
Only the GeForce 2 GTS and its massive raw fill rate prowess is still considered playable by most players at this high of a resolution, and only in 16-bit color. Only the Rage Fury MAXX and Viper II are able to minimize the performance hit associated with 32-bit color at such a high resolution. The GeForce 2 MX continues to outdistance the GeForce SDR by a small, but noticeable, margin.

So 20 years laters I can say it is analogous to MAX-Q cards that we see today? Seems same logic behind it.Dr AB - Friday, May 8, 2020 - link

The logic behind MAX-Q is severely reduce clock speeds and voltage to reduce power consumption. This is analogous to entry-level gpus such as tu117 in the gtx 1650. Cut down the hardware to reduce cost and power consumption, and have slightly lower clocks to hit tdp targets.
