Hi all

I upgrraded?! to a GF MX440 a few months back and have found serious degrade
in games performance since. Allied Assault runs poorly even with default
settings, but crank it up to trilinear filtering and the game becomes
unplayable. Battlefield 1942 is completely unplayable on even the lowest
settings available but I know this game is reputed to be poorly coded to I
see that one as a double whammy.

Would I be advised to get back my Ti200 adn replace the MX or is this some
other issue?

My rig is

P4 1.7
512MB SDRAM
GeForce 4 MX440 64MB DDR
1x80Gb 1x40Gb HDD
Soundblaster Live 5.1
Cambridge Soundworks 2200 5.1 Speakers
15" TFT Monitor

"Chalk" this up as a learning experience. Now days, you need
to read the reviews before jumping on something. The GF3 Ti200 is a
DX8 supported card while the GF4MX line is a DX7 supported card. They
are just GF2 cards that Nvidia overclocked a little, and slapped a GF4
lable on them. That GF3 Ti200 will stomp all over any MX series card.
The GF3 Ti200 is as good as a 128bit memory bus FX5200, and
stomps all over the FX5200 when overclocked. I'd go back to the Ti200,
or try, and move upto at least an FX5600.
