Geat card for the price

Dec 25, 2000 - By Amazon Customer (BRADENTON, Florida United States)

I have tried 5 cards trying to find the right price performance ratio.First was a Diamond Stelth....stay away.Second was an ATI All in one....the software ran up in front so it was a drain on my resources.Third is the Voodoo 3000 16 meg.This is a fine card. I can recommend it.The fourth was a Voodoo5 5000 64 meg. I honestly liked the card but had problems with some games locking up the price ratio for a 64 meg card is good.But I try to keep computing as trouble free as possible. Reading PC World`s latest issue they rated this card number 2 on their chart.It is a fine card for the price.It comes with a control panel where you can experiment with overclocking the card. I feel I made a smart purchase.If I had to rate my experiences with the cards I have used they would go like this 1Hercules Prophet 2.Voodoo 5 5000 3 Voodoo 3000 4 ATI....ATI`s drivers are terrible 5.Diamond Stelkth....horrible...I don`t even want to go there Hope this helps.All cards were done with a clean install (after a format) with the latest drivers available off of the manufactures website.Dell XPS T700r/128ram

Just what I was looking for!

Nov 18, 2000 - By Amazon Customer (El Dorado Hills, CA United States)

I just received this product a couple weeks ago, and I have been impressed! This card not only can display stunning graphics for its rather economic price, but it can utilize dual-display technology from the GeForce 2 MX TwinView GPU. I love the dual display, you can setup the monitors' orientations so that you can move the mouse from one monitor to the other. There are only two minor problems: the secondary display is a TV-out and some games show errors when you have in dual-display mode. To get around the latter problem, you just adjust the control panel to disable dual-display, then restart your computer. Again, this is a fantastic card!

Excellent Card, AGP 1x users note tho...

Mar 27, 2001 - By rsteven1@tampabay.rr.com (St. Petersburg, FL United States)

My computer has AGP 1.0. I had to add a variable to the system registry: ReqAGPRate = dword:00000001, under local\software\NVIDIA\Global\system. Now my video card works on my year and a half old computer.

The graphics are worth the effort to get it to work. If you have AGP 2, you should have no trouble installing this card.

Best card for the price

May 31, 2001 - By Amazon Customer

I bought this card as an upgrade to replace my old 8mb SiS card. It installed easily but required a bit of tweaking to get it to run properly. I had to dowload the latest unified driver from Nvidia and the newest agp driver for my motherboard. Once I did that it ran with no problems. On my P2 350 Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 both run beautifully and faster than I've seen on any card. That's with full graphics and 32 bit color. The TV out is also a nice added feature for watching DVD's.

Nice card but here's a caveat
