Introduction

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 Rate 

Synchronous 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.
