Sharkey never benchmarked the Ge2 MX vs the TNT 2 ultra, but Thresh did and the MX blew it away at all resolutions. In fact, it performed admirably vs the other GE force cards until higher resolutions. At that point, it's apparent that the faster and better DDR memory starts to take over. I think it certainly makes sense to pick up the MX as it performs much better than the TNT 2 ultra and sticks up there with the Geforce SDR. For $150.00 or less, it can't be beat.
