Creative Labs 3D Blaster Annihilator

Pros: awesome performance, user friendly
Cons: it's aging too fast

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.

I have the...

Pros: Great game acceleration with compatible games
Cons: Not many games have caught up with this card's technology

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,...

Pros: Simply Awesome Power. Levels the Processor Playing Field.
Cons: A Little Expensive.

It's difficult for me to admit that my blazing computer system is nearing the end of its relative operational life span. I just need to face it, my Pentium II-450 is now considered "low end". The thing is still wicked fast, but it barely...

Pros: Lightning Fast Graphics Processor; 32MB RAM (32MB DDR RAM in Pro version); Driver Support & Enhancements
Cons: Price; Rate at which Technology Improves

GeForce 256 or 3Dfx?!?
This is one of the hottest arguments in the realm of computer hardware, or at least it was one of the hottest arguments until the results of the new GeForce 256 chipset were witnessed. NVidia, who manufactures...

Pros: Excellent FPS, good price, you can not ask for any thing else
Cons: None

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...

Pros: Promised 33% Improvement.
Cons: Not next generation card.

The time for GeForce2 to debut is approaching. The improvements are consist of the following.

-64MB of RAM (DDR/SDRAM versions possibly)
-160MHZ GPU vs. 120MHZ of GeForce
-2x Texturing pipeline (No perf. loss on displaying 2...

Pros: Extreamly fast opengl and d3d
Cons: no tv out

For most avg gamers this is a little to pricey but if u love your FPS games this is the card for u. There isnt much i can say about this card that is not heavnly out of the box and into my machine is went booted up and installed the drivers off the...

Pros: Great performance, more reasonably priced than DDR
Cons: Not the fastest on the market

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...

Pros: Easy to install, great drivers.
Cons: Expensive. No TV-Out

The Creative nVidia GeForce256 is a huge advancement in 3D Technology. With it's amazing 4x abilities, it can eat your RAM, or put incredibly pretty pictures on the screen.

With it's incredible T&L filtering, the GeForce is superior to...

Pros: Low price, Great name
Cons: Not a huge performance leap from the TNT2U, lack of a software bundle, no TV-Out, Hard to find at local stores

Pros: Fast, Fast, Fast, Fast, relatively inexpensive, backed by Creative
Cons: backed by Creative, not the fastest card out there anymore

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...

Pros: Fastest card on the market. Nvidia demos are Sweeeeet, Nvidia is known for releasing faster drivers every month or so.
Cons: Kinda on the expensive side, The bundled software was disappointing.

I previously had a 16mb NVIDIA TNT graphics board and was very please with its performance. When I learned about the worlds first GPU (graphics processing unit) in the form of the geforce I was totally excited. This card has more transistors on it...

Pros: Very compatable, extreamly powerful, everyone carries it.
Cons: The price is just a tad steep.

Its not too hard for me, a video game fanatic to decide right off how well my graphic card is performing. Well... I must admit, even I'm amazed. The Geforce (unlike other 32 meg vid cards) actually offers you 256-bit images! Currently no other card...

Pros: Easy to install, very fast
Cons: slightly pricey

As the local computer nerd I continually get asked (specifically by college students that feel the need to play games rather than finish their homework) what is the best 3D accelerator for games. This is my conclusion after running several in my labs...
