Has anyone ever owned one of these cards? I know they were released for a short time but were quickly crowded out of the marketplace. I have yet to see one for sale anywhere.
I think they may have been reviewed but never released. They were going to be too expensive, approaching or equaling Ti 4200 which was obviously the better value.
At least Creative seems to have made them, I have never owned one myself, but I found some discussion about that Creative card in Finnish. Ahh, found some English review about them too http://ixbtlabs.com/articles/gf4mx/index5.html
So they are almost vaporware? 😜
yup. I challenge ye retro crazies to find one.
I believe the part no. may be "180-10075." Interestingly, nVidia lists the card on the driver download page.

Might as well go overclock a standard 440 😜

Aw! That's no fun!

Well, I give you this: I never even knew the 460 ever existed, would be interesting to have indeed! 😉
Didn't prove to be very popular (and soon discontinued) due to the expensive price (I believe even more so than the GF3 Ti 200, which was more feature-rich and had similar performance). But hey, you could have the fastest DirectX 7-level card that ever existed.

But if you can find an actual 460 it can be overclocked even more.

😁
Note, seems I lost my photobucket login also, bleh...so tinypics will have to do for the moment -_-
It came without a cooler (= cheaper 😁) but it works 😉
mx460 is the fastest directx7 card ever, capable of scoring over 9000marks in 3dmark2001 despite missing the nature demo.
i have a canopus mx460 and there are still plenty of them around. 😎

Interesting 😉
Yeah it is pretty neat to see a 2 pipeline chip dust a GeForce 2 Ultra. 😉

Neat, yes, but why not just get a non-TI Geforce 3. Those things were insanely fast for their day and should be able to take a 460 with room to spare.
Although, then again, why get an XGI Volari V8? Because it exists (though I don't own one).

Because a Radeon 9800 leaves any GF3 in the dust?

Well, yeah, case in point. But a Radeon 9800 is more expensive still (and was at the time too).
A Radeon 9800 blows away a TI 4800 (the Geforce 4 TI 4600 with agp 8x bus, and the latest revision chips in the series). Nvidia had some crappy chips for the GF4/GF FX generation. ATI just refreshed the chip with the 9800 XT and kept beating the snot out of the NVidia chips.
True, and the fact that it's 2 pipeline chip is faster then a GF2 Ultra is of little practical consequence. But it's the knowledge of technology that's interesting here, kinda like how fast the AMD 5x86 is compared to a real Pentium.
If one uses the 5x86 and the other a P75, there isn't much practical difference if you sit behind any of the 2 computers.
But it's still interesting 😉
I actually only bought it because I kinda bumped in to one with this topic still fresh in my mind. Personally I wouldn't have really cared to just overclock a 440 one, but the opportunity arose and I took it! 😉
(...just like that 50 cents motherboard I bought yesterday 😁 )
What about a Radeon 7500? How does that stack up against MX460?
