In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce 4 MX 440 are marginally better than the AMD Radeon 9250.

The Radeon 9250 was released over a year more recently than the 4 MX, and so the Radeon 9250 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 GeForce 4 MX 440 and the Radeon 9250 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 GeForce 4 MX 440 and the Radeon 9250 are the same, which means the 4 MX and the Radeon 9250 have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.

The GeForce 4 MX 440 has 2 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon 9250 has 4. 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.
