Nvidia wha?? ATI is new KING.
Written: Jul 16 '01
Pros:Awesome 3D performance in today's and tomorrows games.
Cons:Memory not clocked high enough to take advantage of the GPU.
The Bottom Line: All I have to say is if you want a good card and don't wanna wait for the RadeonII then this is your card.. plus the price is damn good.
Okay, I was shopping for a Video card to replace my 3D Prophet IIMX. I reviewed many Video cards such as the GeForce2 GTS Pro and the GeForce3. Out of all the cards I reviewed the GeForce3 had the best framerates and 3D performance. But, It didn't have a good DVD compensation engine, VIVO capabilities and the price tag is 600$ CAN. That's around 400$ US.
So I went for my second choice, the ATI Radeon 64 VIVO. I don't regret it one bit. I mean I was able to overclock the MEM to 230Mhz ..that's equivalent to 460Mhz DDR!!!. Now the Radeon was able to show it's true muscle. It out paced the equally clocked GeForce2 GTS Pro by 15 FPS while running Quake III @ 1024*768*32bits.
