Product Description

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Total disappointment, June 18, 2004
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: DIAMOND STEALTH S70 Cinematic 2D/3D Graphic Card (Personal Computers)
This is not really a GeForce 4 MX 440 chipset-based video card. I ordered and received a GeForce 2 MX 400 chipset-based card. Actually, it is Diamond Stealth's S70. I was so disappointed when I received it because Diamond cards' quality is terrible, and I had very bad experiences with this brand before. I wanted to return it but I received an equal card again. My conclusion is either details of this product are wrong or Amazon people are completely ignorant about the difference between those two chipsets. I've learned my lesson, I will never buy a hardware component from Amazon. Amazon is good selling books, DVDs, CDs and even some electronics. But when dealing with hardware, I would prefer to find a specialized store. Don't buy this card, it is not worth, there are much better cards in the market for similar prices, and furthermore the Diamond brand might be the worst in video cards.
