COMMENT - "Lego Star Wars requires a video card with some form of shaders which is why there are no results for the XFX GeForce MX 4000. You can clearly see that the MSI GeForce4 Ti4200 is the best video card for Lego Star Wars, using medium quality settings the MSI GeForce4 Ti4200 beats the Club3D Deltachrome S8 by 55%, using high quality settings by 53% and when using ultra high quality by a very impressive 39%."

The MSI GeForce4 Ti4200 with Anisotropic Filtering enabled results in a large 33% performance hit."
