Pros: awesome performance, user friendly
Cons: it's aging too fast
Summary: I bought my Annihilator back in March 2000, together with the rest of my current system. It's found a comfortable place in the AGP slot of my mainboard and runs @ 100 MHz, accompanied by my pIII 550, 192 MB RAM and 30,6 GB drive.

Pros: Very smooth display in high end games and applications
Cons: A little tricky to get going
Summary: After doing a few weeks of research of the latest graphics cards, I decided to go with the Creative Labs Anihilator. I'll admit, it was over my price range (by about $100) but I have NEVER had a problem with any Creative Labs produce (and the few that I ... read more

Pros: Fast, still well supported
Cons: Noisy, some cards are faster still
Summary: I was given one of these, yup – given! It replaced a (fully working) TNT2 Ultra that was incompatible with my motherboard (I got a new motherboard as well, this was just compensation) and I’m very pleased with it. In 3D games my PIII-450 is faster than ... read more

Pros: Great performance
Cons: A bit spendy
Summary: By far, the most powerful video card I have ever owned. Although relatively old, the Creative 3D Blaster Annihilator packs quite a processing punch; the DDR version of the card is comparable to the much newer Geforce2MX boards in every aspect but FSSA. ... read more

Pros: Fast, Fast, Fast, Fast, relatively inexpensive, backed by Creative
Cons: backed by Creative, not the fastest card out there anymore
Summary: Little note: I'm using the Annihilator PRO, which is based on the GeForce 256 w/ DDR Memory. A little bit different but this is as close as Epinions gets, so here goes...
The story...
I have been thoroughly unimpressed, no make ... read more

Pros: Smooth textures, very fast, can handle high polygon counts.
Cons: Not compatible with all games, expensive.
Summary: I purchased this 3d card for lack of a good 3d card when I bought my computer. It is a p3 450 with 128 megs of ram. The main reason I bought this card was because of a personal recommendation from a friend.
We play Half Life: Counter-Strike ... read more

Pros: GREAT CARD! FAST FAST FAST!
Cons: Some minor issues in everquest.
Summary: I received this great video card as a christmas gift last year and installed it. I went from having no 3d accelerator to this one and have been absolutely amazed. My Celeron 400 went from running with a low frame rate and slow speed to moving smoothly ... read more

Pros: Excellent FPS, good price, you can not ask for any thing else
Cons: None
Summary: When God created 3D video games, he meant them to be played on this card!
We are talking multi-textured pixels, more than 3.8 gigatexels per second, over 15 million triangles per second, four 32-bit 3D rendering pipelines and single pass ... read more

Pros: full Speed ahead
Cons: won't work with some games
Summary: I bought this card after having bought a voodoo banshee. So I was pretty much new to 3dfx cards. I was using bleem the psx emulator and ultrahle and a few other 3dfx needed stuff on my system but it was kind of slow graphics where their but still slow. ... read more

Pros: great performance
Cons: expensive....
Summary: Although this video card is not the best out in the market, it is one of the top ten and still great for gamers. Running Quake III at 32 bit, this card performs at 78 frames per second, which matches the Erazor X2. This great all-around performing ... read more

Pros: GPU is latest in video processing technology, extensible
Cons: No support for 3DFX Glide, hence some older, less popular games
Summary:
THIS IS AN UPDATE TO THE PROBLEMS I INDICATED WHEN UPGRADING
TO A CREATIVE ANNIHILATOR BOARD. (See previous review).
Knowing why something fails is most of the battle.
If you are considering buying one of these Nvida GeForce ... read more

Pros: Great performance, more reasonably priced than DDR
Cons: Not the fastest on the market
Summary: For the full story of why I decided to build a computer around the geForce chipset, read my review of the Guillemot Prophet DDR. As to why I bought this card, well, impatience is the culprit.
I was intent on building a computer with a geForce ... read more

Pros: Great card and GPU unit, Reference card for NVidia chip
Cons: Compatibility with older software - esp. 3DFX Glide games
Summary: Why write when everyone else already rated this card GREAT! ???
I have an advanced EE degree and I am one of those people that upgrade
with parts rather then replace by buying an entirely new computer.
Rather then telling you about ... read more

Pros: Great game acceleration with compatible games
Cons: Not many games have caught up with this card's technology
Summary: I recently purchased a HP Pentium 2 550 MHZ computer with 96 mb of RAM and a 16 gig hard drive. It came with a no name 3D Accelerator card that did basicaly nothing for game acceleration.
I did my homework on several video cards, ... read more

Pros: Great product, great driver support, easy to install
Cons: New GeForce 2 GTS is a faster product
Summary: This card is amazing! Based on the incredible Nvidia GeForce graphic chip, this board rocks. While I'm not the serious hard core gamer that I once was I still love to play some of the hottest 3D action games out there (Half-Life, Rainbow 6, Quake III). ... read more
