MSI GF4 MX440-VTD8X: Although not everyone has an AGP8x motherboard, you probably will have one soon. Although originally an AGP4x part, the GeForce 4 is being revamped for the eight speed bus. Question is, how much faster will the ride be?

    All tests were run at 1024*768 with all settings at maximum except antialiasing and ansiotropic filtering were not enabled, also they were run at 1024*768 with AA (4XS/4X for MSI, and 16X for Parhelia) and 2X Ansiotropic filtering.   1600*1200 was run without ansiotropic filtering and AA enabled.  All tests were run 3 times with the highest of the closest two frame rates being used.   Synthetic benchmarks (Villagemark and DroneZmarK) omitted 1600*1200 tests.   All frame rates were graphed using Fraps 1.9 to measure the frame rate each second, as seen in the Parhelia review mentioned previously.
