Better graphics performance for the PCI bus.

The 3D Blaster® 2 MX200™ PCI brings advanced NVIDIA® chipset technology to the non-AGP PC market. An ideal and affordable upgrade choice for the general PC user, perhaps with an older PC, this new graphics card is an excellent tool for going beyond the limitations of motherboard graphics chips or generic PCI graphics cards. Designed for general use, it supports everyday gaming, web browsing and office applications, using NVIDIA® features to support faster screen refreshes and crisper graphics. Supplied with 32MB of SDR RAM, features include second generation T&L, the NVIDIA® Shading Rasteriser™, Cube Environment Mapping, Per-Pixel Bump Mapping, and High-Performance Hardware Anti Aliasing, plus support for DirectX®.
