From the Manufacturer
Arcade FX GeForce 4 delivers today's latest technology standard AGP 8X! With double the bandwidth of AGP 4X, the Arcade FX GeForce 4 MX440-8X delivers faster screen refreshes and more realistic graphics. The new AGP 3.0 interface also takes the bandwidth pressure off the computer's processing unit (CPU) for overall improved system performance.
Arcade FX has it all! NVIDIA Lightspeed Memory Architecture (LMA) II and nView display technology allow more fluid frame rates and user flexibility. NVIDIA Accuview Antialiasing enhances cinematic realism of multi-textured games and enables high resolution, full-screen antialiased game play. The Arcade FX accelerator board features the latest technology from NVIDIA's GeForce 4 FX series and delivers performance traditionally found only on high-end cards - available for the first time on a mainstream graphics card.
Lightspeed Memory Architecture
LMA II increases effective memory bandwidth by up to 300 percent. Revolutionary new technologies -- including Z-occlusion culling, fast Z-clear, and auto precharge - give you faster and smoother frame rates for the latest 3-D and 2-D games and applications.
Accuview Antialiasing (AA)
The AA subsystem delivers full-scene antialiazed quality at performance levels never before seen, delivering mind-blowing images without slowing down your computer. This is at levels up to five times faster than the GeForce 2 MX series.
Video Processing Engine
The Arcade MX's High-Definition Video Processor (HDVP) turns your PC into a full-quality DVD player without the need for a high-performance computer. The onboard TV-out functionality enables the option of big-screen gaming on a TV and also allows Video-editing applications and digital timeshifting VCR.
