CREATIVE LABS 3D Blaster GeForce2 MX 32

[Guest]

I'am thinking of selling my Nividia Tnt2 and buying a CREATIVE LABS 3D Blaster GeForce2 MX 32MB DDR Ram. What do you guys think of that plan? Is there a big difference between them and is it a good plan? P.s. does the card come with out fan?

I wouldn't get a creative labs with the 64-bit DDR. It seems a bit slower than other 128-bit sdr solutions. If you must get an MX the hercules prophet II mx is a good one because the memory is 183mhz instead of the usual 166mhz. I don't think fans make much difference for the mx because the core doesn't give off much heat (something like 3-5W). Besides, the memory is the real bottle neck. If you've got a TNT2 you'll see an increase in performance, but in many cases it'll only be ~30-60% (that's an estimate, if you want solid numbers you'll have to research some benchmarks).
