In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD FireGL V3100 are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce 4 MX 440.

The FireGL V3100 was released over a year more recently than the 4 MX, and so the FireGL V3100 is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the 4 MX.

Both GPUs exhibit very poor performance, so rather than upgrading from one to the other you should consider looking at more powerful GPUs. Neither of these will be able to run the latest games in any playable way.

The FireGL V3100 and the GeForce 4 MX 440 have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.

The memory bandwidth of the FireGL V3100 and the GeForce 4 MX 440 are the same, which means the FireGL V3100 and the 4 MX have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.

Both the FireGL V3100 and the GeForce 4 MX 440 have 2 Shader Processing Units. The two GPUs are based on different architectures, but deliver an equivalent shader performance. To compare, we must continue to look at the memory bandwidth, Texture and Pixel Rates. In this case, we sadly do not have enough data in this area to complete the comparison.

We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the FireGL V3100.
