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
