| groove10's Full Review: S3 Diamond Viper Ultra 770 |
Don't get me wrong here people, I love Diamond and what they do with their video cards and the driver software is incredible, but the Diamond Viper V770 is pretty much a waste of your money right now. I mean with the single pass multitexture feature coming out in the newest of cards, the V770 simply can't compete right now. Soon the price of these ultra high performance cards will come down to reasonable levels and then this card will be just plain outdated. I have bought a total of three Diamond cards and I like them all especially the way the software is integrated into the functionality of the cards. I think Diamond Multimedia puts a wonderful effort into their video card tools interface and controls, but the V770 serves as only a stop-gap until the next generation of video cards reaches the optimum buying level, around $100. Until then, refrain from upgrading to a V770 and wait just a few more months in order to buy a true cutting edge card from Diamond.
