In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce 4 MX 440 are very slightly better than the AMD Radeon HD 2350 Pro.

The HD 2350 was released over three years more recently than the 4 MX, and so the HD 2350 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the 4 MX when running the latest games.

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 HD 2350 has 128 MB more video memory than the 4 MX, so is likely to be slightly better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the HD 2350 also has superior memory performance overall.

The HD 2350 has 3.2 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the 4 MX, which means that the memory performance of the HD 2350 is marginally better than the 4 MX.

The Radeon HD 2350 Pro has 40 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce 4 MX 440 has 2. However, the actual shader performance of the HD 2350 is 16 and the actual shader performance of the 4 MX is 1. The HD 2350 having 15 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the HD 2350 delivers a marginally smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the 4 MX.

The Radeon HD 2350 Pro requires 20 Watts to run but there is no entry for the GeForce 4 MX 440. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the HD 2350.
