Chaintech GeForce4 MX440 – (Golden Package)

Overclocking

I was able to get the card running at 311Mhz core and 450MHz Memory. Increasing the memory above this point resulted in complications, which means this is more likely to be the limit of the card. However every card manufactured differs from one another, so you might get luckier. The core seems be able to take higher clock speeds as at the end I was doing 320Mhz with no problems at all.

Conclusion

Considering the GeForce4 MX was introduced as a value card to replace the GeForce 2MX, this is an exceptional card. Looking at the benchmark results one simply cannot ignore the fact that the Chaintech GeForce4 MX performs incredibly well. I know some of you’re under the misconception that any GeForce4 based card will outperform a GeForce3. This is not the case.
