NVIDIA GeForce2 MX

by Anand Lal Shimpi on June 28, 2000 9:30 AM EST

As the resolution increases we see that the GeForce2 MX's fill rate does give it a small advantage over the GeForce SDR but the DDR GeForce's added memory bandwidth easily outweighs the superior fill rate.

1600 x 1200 x 16 is playable on the GeForce2 MX which is more than can be said about other cards in this price range but the card is still obviously being held back severely by its SDR memory.

    So 20 years laters I can say it is analogous to MAX-Q cards that we see today? Seems same logic behind it.

    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.
