The GeForce3 MX will be released on Friday, 24 August (yes, in 4 days). It will have a 175 MHz core and a 200MHz DDR (Yes, you read that correctly. Double Data Rate) memory clock. There will be two versions, one fanless and one fansink version.

The GeForce3 Pro (Or Ultra, the document doesn't state names) will be released on Monday, 27 August. There will be two versions. One will have a 240MHz core clock and 250MHz DDR Memory. The other will have a 240MHz core clock and 260MHz DDR Memory

Just a question for you brent

Post by terrancelam »

how else is the Geforce 3 mx crippled? Just in the speed area? And if so, can it be oced to the insane levels of the Geforce3 without a problem? Or did they cripple the core along with the memory bandwidth?

Correct me if I am wrong but wouldnt it be cheaper to buy a regualr Geforce 3 after all these hit the shelves and then overclock it to 240/260?

Wouldnt that be the same thing or are there other dis besides clock speed?

I wonder what this will do for the prices of equally as fast but cheaper cards? :D

Woohoo more video cards to have in a endless sea of... Video Cards. Well with current price drops and what not I'm not complaining :D Man 128 Megs on a card. That's almost what I have in my system. :eek: Glad I hear this before I clicked the buy now button. But it all good.
