DOWNLOAD ABIT SILURO GF4 MX DRIVER

While not made to handle future games Doom 3 , you can get some decent performance out of it. At the lower resolutions, the GeForce4 MX holds its own. Remember, every possible performance sapping rendering feature was enabled. The GeForce3's higher fillrate and memory bandwidth are responsible for the increase here. It does a number of clever things such as optimising memory accesses by splitting them up into smaller chunks so that less bandwidth is wasted and more can be put to good use. Firstly we have dual independant MHz RAMDAC's that can operate twin displays independently at high resolution with independents resolutions, colour depths and refresh rates on each display.

So what's under the hood? Click to find out more.

The measly increase when overclocked is due to the CPU being made to do all the work that the card cannot. The vf4 engine has been reworked more sample modes and improved performance and rebadged Accuview. In gg4 graph we'll see the effect that not being able to do all the pixel and vertex shader functions in hardware has on the GeForce4 MX when compared to the GeForce3 Ti As with recent Hexus reviews, I'll combine as much information as is possible onto the graphs so that you get all the information without trawling through a mountain of pictures.

Its Manhattan rendering performance was Overclocking the card doesn't have much effect on performance which points us to the fact that we might be G4 limited but this is more due to the CPU having to do work that the GPU should maybe be doing, not because the GPU is sitting idle. Dropping the graphics quality down would have an appreciable difference on performance but it's nice to enable what rendering features you can.

We don't get anywhere near our 50fps target sadly. The Abit is a decent performer considering what's under the hood and it did overclock very well although being out first NV17 through the door, we have no other NV17 based cards to gr4 it with just yet.

Watch out for it. This technology is used in nView of which we'll cover later on. Finally in our look at game performance we have Serious Sam 2: Overall, a good performer for the price but nothing special and not recommended.

Before we dive into the graphs, a quick look at the test setup.

The GeForce3's higher fillrate and memory bandwidth are responsible for the increase here. As well as the integrated features and mxx performance figures, there are 3 technologies present on the GPU that are worth looking at before checking out the card itself.

Firstly we have dual independant MHz RAMDAC's that can operate twin displays independently at high resolution with independents resolutions, colour depths and refresh rates on each display. With games coming out more and more frequently that only run well on DX8 class accelerators without turning off features or dropping resolution, we have to say that the performance was disappointing.

Given that the Ti will have incremental leads in each game test plus the advantage of a Nature assisted score, we can still draw meaningful conclusions about the Abit. In the high resolution test at x, the Abit gets a hammering by the GeForce3 Ti which simply has more fillrate and available memory bandwidth and pull away by over twice the score the Abit can muster. Remember, every possible performance sapping rendering feature was enabled. All these techniques increase the effective memory bandwidth available to the GPU and allow for some extra speed that wouldn't be there without the crossbar.

To reiterate, the core is slower than NV20 GeForce3 despite the brand name suggesting otherwise. By reading this site you agree to our cookie policy. We used the four. With the GeForce4 tag attached to these cards, I think we do have a right to be annoyed at the slightly poor performance.

Lastly before we jump to the final analysis, a quick word about the anti-aliasing.

However to properly understand NV17 you need to look at it from a money making and marketing point of view. While their new products began to take shape, the NV17M started to look more and more appealing as a consumer g4f in normal AGP cards. Overall Conclusion These cards are definitely aimed at the budget concious user, much like the GeForce2 Titanium cards were not so long ago.

We'll see that in our benchmarks. We've seen that the performance of the card isn't exactly stellar. As you can see from abi pictures, Abit has outfitted the card with a very nice looking heatsink and fan.

Quake3 is mainly a test of overall system throughput with graphics cards of this class but we should still see driverr interesting scaling in the results.
