Technical Analysis
Detailed breakdown of GeForce2 MX/MX 400 specifications and capabilities.
Graphics Performance
The GeForce2 MX/MX 400 scores 4 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Aging generation graphics card. It is built on the Turing (2018−2022) architecture (codename: N17S-G5 / GP107-670-A1), manufactured on a 12 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 896 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 64 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 32 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 3.226 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1575 MHz from a base of 1395 MHz.
