Overclockers Online has posted a review on the GeForce2 MX400 made by Innovision.



Let´s start with the MX200, the slowest and cheapest of the two new additions to the MX family. The MX200 has the exact same 175MHz core clock, 166MHz memory clock and fill rates as the original GF2 MX. The difference has to be found in the slower 64bit SDR memory data bus and the even more limited 1.35Gb/s memory bandwith. That´s half the memory bandwith of the original GeForce2 MX (and the MX400 as we will see in a few secs). So far we´ve seen no improvement of the new MXs over the original one ... but then there´s the MX400 ...

Yep, that´s right folks, the MX400, on which the Inno3D Tornado GF2 MX400 is based, has some improvements over the original MX. Here they are ... First of all, the core clock has been increased from 175MHz to 200MHz. Secondly, the fill rates have been increased fromm 350 Mpixels/sec and 700 Mtexels/sec to 400 Mpixels/sec and 800 Mtexels/sec. Alright I agree, these changes are nothing to write home about, BUT you got to admit that they should increase overall performance of a videocard at least a little, don´t they? Don´t forget that the memory data bus and the memory bandwith remains unchanged compared to the original MX!
