PNY Verto GeForce4 64MB DDR MX440 AGP Graphics Card

 (4 customer reviews)

I think PNY has the worst customer support. The card failed on start up. After a full fresh install I got the video to work but many problems. The most annoying one was studdering. I tried all the tweaks Pny support suggested (new drivers, ect.)Sometimes it worked fine, other times not. So before I ended up destoying my computer out of frustration, I bought a Vison Tek geforce4 card to replace the Pny Verto and so far it works great.

The card worked great on my P-4,(see Radeon 8500 review), until the card quite working all together after 3 weeks. Swapped 2 diffrent cards out and they worked fine but the Nvida card just died. I ruled out cooling, drivers, etc. I think the card has good potential, but the workmanship quality(made in China) speaks for itself. I put my Radeon 8500 back in my new system with the 6071 drivers and it rocks. Looks way better than this card and all the flaws the radeon had in the past seems to have been fixed. I would have given the Pny nvidia card 5 stars if it would not have petered out on me:(

If you are looking for a good card in this price range you should buy a Geforce3 Ti200 or better yet the Geforce4 Ti4200. Both of the Titanium series chip sets support DerectX8 features such as pixle and vertex shading and the MX series does not. If you want more bang for your buck I would suggest the Rodeon 8500 because even thought it is slightly more expensive it is worth it because you won't have to upgrade for a long, long time. Plus you'll be the envy of all your friends.
