Manufacturer description
eForce2 MX brings the power of second generation graphics processing units (GPU) to desktop PCs and Apple Power Mac computers. The result—the same stunning visual experience PC users expect from NVIDI-GPUs. Leveraging the second generation architecture of the GeForce2 GTS, GeForce2 MX is a robust GPU at mainstream price points. GeForce2 MX uniquely incorporates Digital Vibrance Control (DVC), which makes all images—including 2D, 3D, and video—brighter and crisper, even on digital flat panels, with the flexibility of the TwinView dual-display architecture.

Compare with similarly-priced alternatives in the retro graphics & video category before committing.

Key Features
- TwinView - Finally, with TwinView dual-display architecture, multiple displays can be supported on a single GPU. Financial analysts can have a second monitor specifically for tracking each data stream, while graphic artists can use an entire screen for palettes and another for editing.
- Digital Vibrance Control (DVC) - Digital Vibrance Control is a patent-pending innovation for controlling color separation and intensity. With a simple control panel, you select and control the color settings of your display's entire visual output.
- Shading Rasterizer (NSR) - The Shading Rasterizer (NSR) combined with the blazing fill rate of a GPU, delivers incomparable resolution and accuracy. Complex scenes are now rich with detail. Features such as per-pixel bump mapping can be utilized to a more dramatic visual effect.
