Pros: Good 3D-performance for older games, 32 MB RAM, easy installation, overclockable.
Cons: Outdated technology, small heat sink with noisy fan, causes hardware conflicts, sketchy drivers, inadequate manual.
Summary: Why this card?
The Diamond Viper 770 Ultra was among the fastest and highest rated 3D accelerator cards in late 1999. Its core is the nVidia TNT2 Ultra/Pro chipset supported by a then whopping 32 MB of RAM. By today’s standards these ... read more

Pros: Inexpensive and feature-packed, takes a beating.
Cons: No TV out, drivers no longer supported by S3.
Summary: I've been around computers for 20 years so I've seen alot of good and bad components. When I purchased my new computer I decided to go with the Diamond V770 because it offered TNT2 and Open GL for only $130 which at the time was a real bargain.

Pros: Cheap, supported well by nvidia
Cons: sloooooooooooooooooow
Summary: I used to have a TNT2 until I was given a Geforce and was very happy with it (Though naturally I was even happier with the Geforce). The TNT2 is a very fast card and was the first card from anyone to beat 3Df/x’s voodoo cards at their own games. 3Df/x ... read more

Pros: Speed, Value, Drivers, HOT Performance
Cons: Runs HOT
Summary: While the TNT2 chipset is nearing two years old, the only better video cards out there are the GeForces. At only around $70 currently, the Diamond Viper v770 series is a great buy for those on a budget. I bought a v770 in July 1999, and I have yet to ... read more

Pros: Excellent Price/Value Combination
Cons: No longer support by S3, need to go to NVidia to get Win 2K drivers
Summary: Before the release of the DDR, Voodoo 5500, etc., I bought these when they were considered state of the art. However, with the advent of gaming, these cards, while not state of the art, are still excellent performers.
I have 3 of these cards ... read more

Pros: 32MB of Memory, Killer 3D
Cons: Not the newest card on the market but still a great contender
Summary: The Viper V770 is not the newest video card on the market but it is still a great card for 3d and 2d gaming. I have had the Viper for over a year now, but it still runs every game I want it to perfectly.

Pros: Still a strong card
Cons: Showing age.
Summary: I've had this card for about a year and a half now. This card has been a strong performer for the last year now. I've been able to get smooth framerates (20+ fps) with newer games. This card still puts out graphics at a good level. On half-life I ... read more

Pros: very fast, great graphics
Cons: none
Summary: This is an absolutely incredible card. It's TNT 2, so it is very fast. And it accelerates in 32 bit color, unlike the Voodoo 3, which can only accelerat in 16 bit. Not only that, but it's just plain faster than the Voodoo 3 by a long shot. In half life ... read more

Pros: Speed, Visual Quality, Cost
Cons: Some OpenGL problems with older drivers
Summary: First of all, I don't have the "Ultra" version of this card, and I'm not sure what the differences are, but I'm guessing it just has slight improvements or has TV-Out or something like that. But, just know I'm using my non-Ultra card as a ... read more
