geforce ultra series cards entry level mx mid range gts pro high end ti ultra api support direct3d direct3d 7 0 opengl opengl 1 2 t l history predecessor geforce 256 successor geforce 3 series support status unsupported the geforce 2 series nv15 is the second generation of nvidia s geforce line of graphics processing units gpus introduced in 2000 it is the successor to the geforce 256 the geforce 2 family comprised a number of models the geforce 2 gts geforce 2 ultra geforce 2 pro and geforce 2 ti are based upon the original architecture nv15 varying only by chip and memory clock speeds for the low end segment and oems the geforce 2 mx series nv11 was created from which the geforce 2 go was derived for laptops in addition the geforce 2 architecture is used for the quadro series on the quadro 2 pro 2 mxr and 2 ex cards with special drivers meant to accelerate computer aided design applications architecture edit geforce2 ultra gpu die shot of a geforce 2 gpu the geforce 2 architecture nv15 is similar to the previous geforce 256 line but with various improvements compared to the 220 nm geforce 256 the geforce 2 is built on a 180 nm manufacturing process making the silicon more dense and allowing for more transistors and a higher clock speed the most significant change for 3d acceleration is the addition of a second texture mapping unit to each of the four pixel pipelines this doubles the texture fillrate per clock compared to the previous generation and is the reasoning behind the geforce 2 gts s naming suffix gigatexel shader gts the geforce 2 also formally introduces the nsr nvidia shading rasterizer a primitive type of programmable pixel pipeline that is somewhat similar to later pixel shaders this functionality is also present in geforce 256 but was unpublicized another hardware enhancement is an upgraded video processing pipeline called hdvp high definition video processor hdvp supports motion video playback at hdtv resolutions mp hl 2 in 3d benchmarks and gaming applications the geforce 2 gts outperforms its predecessor by up to 40 3 in opengl games such as quake iii the card outperforms the ati radeon ddr and 3dfx voodoo 5 5500 cards in both 16 bpp and 32 bpp display modes however in direct3d games running 32 bpp the radeon ddr is sometimes able to take the lead 4 the geforce 2 nv15 architecture is quite memory bandwidth constrained 5 the gpu wastes memory bandwidth and pixel fillrate due to unoptimized z buffer usage drawing of hidden surfaces and a relatively inefficient ram controller the main competition for geforce 2 gts the radeon ddr r100 has hardware functions called hyperz that address these issues 6 because of the inefficient nature of the geforce 2 gpus they could not approach their theoretical performance potential and the radeon even with its significantly less powerful 3d architecture offered strong competition the later nv17 revision of the nv11 design used in the geforce4 mx was more efficient releases edit the first models to arrive after the original geforce 2 gts was the geforce 2 ultra and geforce2 mx launched on september 7 2000 7 on september 29 2000 nvidia started shipping graphics cards which had 16 and 32 mb of video memory size architecturally identical to the gts the ultra simply has higher core and memory clock rates meant to be a niche product it was rumored that geforce 2 ultra was intended to prevent 3dfx taking the lead with their voodoo 5 6000 that was ending up never released as 3dfx went bankrupt the ultra model actually outperforms the first geforce 3 products in some cases due to initial geforce 3 cards having significantly lower fillrate however the ultra loses its lead when anti aliasing is enabled because of the geforce 3 s new memory bandwidth fillrate efficiency mechanisms plus the geforce 3 has a superior next generation feature set with programmable vertex and pixel shaders for directx 8 0 games the geforce 2 pro introduced shortly after the ultra was an alternative to the expensive top line ultra and is faster than the gts in october 2001 the geforce 2 ti was positioned as a cheaper and less advanced alternative to the geforce 3 faster than the gts and pro but slower than the ultra the geforce 2 ti performed competitively against the radeon 7500 rv200 although the 7500 had the advantage of dual display support this mid range geforce 2 release was replaced by the geforce4 mx series as the budget performance choice in january 2002 on their 2001 product web page nvidia initially placed the ultra as a separate offering from the rest of the geforce 2 lineup gts pro ti however by late 2002 with the geforce 2 considered a discontinued product line being succeeded by the geforce 4 mx the ultra was included along the gts pro and ti in the geforce 2 information page geforce 2 mx edit geforce 2 mx200 agp die shot of the mx400 gpu since the previous geforce 256 line shipped without a budget variant the riva tnt2 series was left to fill the low end role albeit with a comparably obsolete feature set in order to create a better low end option nvidia created the geforce 2 mx series nv11 which offered a set of standard features similar to the regular geforce 2 nv15 limited only by categorical tier of lower performance in order to reduce production costs the geforce 2 mx cards had two 3d pixel pipelines removed and a reduced available memory bandwidth the cards utilized either sdr sdram or ddr sdram with memory bus widths ranging from 32 to 128 bits allowing circuit board cost to be varied the mx series also provided dual display support something not found in the geforce 256 and geforce 2 with performance approaching the geforce 256 while also being much more economical to produce the geforce 2 mx was successful in the oem and budget market the prime competitors in the oem and budget segment were ati s radeon sdr which with all other r100 chip equipped cards regardless of clock memory speed and memory configuration was later renamed collectively as radeon 7200 radeon ve rv100 later renamed radeon 7000 and the 3dfx voodoo4 4500 8 sharing the same r100 gpu as the higher end radeon 32mb ddr us 230 the radeon sdr us 150 was equipped with sdr sdram instead of ddr sdram found in its more expensive brethren although this did not bring down costs sufficiently to match the geforce 2 mx 9 released 3 months after the geforce 2 mx the radeon sdr lacked multi monitor support but exhibited faster 32 bit 3d rendering over the geforce 2 mx 10 3dfx s voodoo4 4500 arrived too late as well as being too expensive at us 150 but too slow to compete with nvidia or ati s offerings and also lacking multi monitor support next up the radeon ve s rv100 gpu was cut down considerably from the r100 to reduce production costs so it did not offer hardware t l an emerging 3d rendering feature of the day that was the major attraction of direct3d 7 further the radeon ve featured only a single rendering pipeline causing it to produce a substantially lower fillrate than the geforce 2 mx however the radeon ve us 100 had the advantage of somewhat better dual monitor display software while matching the geforce 2 mx on price 11 members of the series include geforce 2 mx mx400 mx200 and mx100 the gpu was also used as an integrated graphics processor in the nforce chipset line and as a mobile graphics chip for notebooks called geforce 2 go the nvidia geforce2 mx 400 is often considered underwhelming because of its limited capabilities with just 32 mb of sdr memory and an outdated architecture based on the celsius design it struggles to perform efficiently its low gpu clock speed of 200 mhz and support for only directx 7 0 further hamper its ability to handle modern games and applications in the context of today s technology the geforce2 mx 400 is seen as outdated and insufficient for most graphic intensive tasks 12 13 14 successor edit the successor to the geforce 2 non mx line is the geforce 3 the non mx geforce 2 line was reduced in price and saw the addition of the geforce 2 ti in order to offer a mid range alternative to the high end geforce 3 product later both the geforce 2 and geforce 2 mx lines were replaced with the geforce4 mx models edit main article list of nvidia graphics processing units geforce2_series further information celsius microarchitecture all models
