Introduction

The 3DForce4 MX440-8X Series video accelerators are

excellent 2D/3D multimedia video adapters for AGP 8X local

bus desktop PCs’. Based on nVIDIA GeForce4 MX440-8X core

technology, built-in with 64MB or 128MB DDR SDRAM

memory module, these video cards will provide multiple display

outputs onboard for TVout (Analog and Digital) or Dual RGBout

(Twin) all together in optional.

As the previously core technology from nVIDIA, the

GeForce4™MX440-8X Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

shakes up the gaming industry with its extremely performance,

unusual visual effects, and speedy frame rates-injecting life into

the artificial world of computer-generated graphics.

The significant enhancement is the new high quality image

control. The nVIDIA GeForce4™MX GPU has added two more

rendering pipelines and the DirectX 8-compliant T&L unit into

its graphic engine, which enables the maximum flexibility and

high quality 4Xs mode control capabilities; gathered with the

data bus Double Data Rate RAM (DDR) circuit, the PC users

can ultimately enjoy the virtual environment of 3D scenes, and

ambiance textures appear photo-realistic and custom lighting

heightens at a highest resolution with astonishingly fast frame

refresh rate.

Another feature of the 3DForce4 MX440-8X Series is the video

accelerator, which integrates the HDVP (High Definition Video

Processor) and DVD (Digital Versa Display) for video playback

with higher definitions at greatly increased frame rates.

A leverage of the combination of hardware and software

technology, nVIDIA GeForce4™ MX GPU will provide many of

the new features and benefits you look for in your desktop

computing as well as the best performance, combining usual

quality and exceeding crisp resolution. With all of this, the

3DForce4 MX440-8X Series video cards bring a new level of

graphics accomplishment and flexibility to the mainstream

desktop PC market!
