IntroductionIntroduction

3DForce4-MX440 and 3DForce4-MX440Twin, which are

excellent 3D multimedia AGP video accelerators for PC

computing right now. Based on nVIDIA GeForce4 MX440 core

technology, built-in 64MB DDR memory module onboard,

display output by choice on two RGBs (Twin) or RGB+TVout

(Analog and Digital) selectable purpose, these outcomes on

their gaming performance will beneficial to player extremely.

The nVIDIA GeForce4Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) as

previously core technology from nVIDIA, which shakes up the

gaming industry with unprecedented visual effects and

sizzling frame rates-injecting life into the previously artificial

world of computer-generated graphics.

With GeForce4™ GPU, two more rendering pipelines and

DirectX 8-compliant T&L unit are added into the nVIDIA

engine, and the Double Data RateSynchronous Dynamic

RAM (DDR SDRAM) improved memory clock speed up to

400MHz, users can be ultimately enable virtual environment

of 3D scenes, and ambiance textures appear photo-realistic

and custom lighting heightens the drama.

3DForce4-MX440 Series accelerator, which is integrate the

HDVP (High Definition Video Processor) and DVD (Digital

Versa Display) playback with high definition at highly frame

rates.

A leverage of hardware and software technology combination,

features and benefits from nVIDIA GeForce4™ MX GPU that

provides cost-effective, high-performance integrated,

unprecedented quality and resolution. With all of this,

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

graphics accomplishment and flexibility to the mainstream

desktop PC.
