| goleafs's Full Review: Asus AGP-7700 |
I got the deluxe version of this card with my new P3 and boy was it expensive! I was going to get the pure version but was interested by in the video editing capabilities. I live in Canada (yeah CANADA) and this card cost me a ton of money. It was about $450 Canadian. I think the card's 3d performance is great but I don't think it was too different from my Geforce. This card was reviewed in Tom's Hardware Guide where it was highly recommended. I strongly urge anyone who is thinking about buying this card to read the review at www.tomshardware.com . The card displays vibrant colours and supports high refresh rates and high resolutions on my 19" Samsung 950p monitor. I was kind of disappointed by the 3-d glasses because they were a pain to wear and I didn't notice any real improvement in games. I wish Asus would bundle them seperately which would have saved me some money. But the one area where the Geforce2 GTS stands out is with playing games at higher resolutions. If you are getting a 19" monitor or are going to be use high resolutions don't skimp on the graphics card. You just are not going to be able to use high resolutions and get high refresh rates at the same times.This card has s-video out, composite out, and s-video in.The included software is Asus DVD, Asus Utilities, Ulead Videostudio and Soldier of Fortune. Overall I think this card is worthwhile. For multimedia options and great 3-d games, this is the card to go for.
