Summary: Best for current games
Review: For the current crop of games, this graphics card is the best of the best. It outperforms the Voodoo3 in both image quality and raw speed. It allows resolutions of 1600x1200 (which I haven't tried because my monitor can't stand that resolution) and runs Quake III smoothly at 1024x768@32-bit color on a PII-350 with 128M RAM. It even outperforms the newer GEForce256 chip in the current crop of games because it is run at a high clock rate than that chip. However, it lacks "Transform and Light" acceleration that the GEForce has, which is more for future games. I would recommend this card over all the other cards (even the GEForce), simply because it is cheaper, faster and that by the time games actually make use of the newer features of GEForce, the next-generation cards will have arrived.I would not recommend this card for CAD and other 3D modelling though. Though it is competent in those tasks, it is nothing compared to the professional cards made by 3DLabs and other companies. (If you are have fussy image quality-related problems I would recommend the G400 from Matrox which has the best quality around, though not quite as fast as this card)

Summary: great card, simply great!
Review: i didn't know why this great card got a 3 and a half star rank and so i checked and i saw that that's because there's this one guy who doesn't know ANYTHING and that's why he's such an idiot! this card ROCKS! all my games are running smoother then ever with the best of quality ever, i can't even think how this card could do any better, i don't know what system you have man but maybe it's your memory or something. any way SLIDESHOWS will not make you see the differance between 32 and 16 bit, you have to see a game using and then you'll understand. in short: buy this game and buy it now. p.s - glide sucks, direct 3d rules!

Review: I don't have it yet but I saw it on my friend's computer and WOW it kicked ass. I even think it's better than Voodoo 16mb. If you want the best performance, graphics, and quality get it.

Summary: If you're a gamer, this card's for you...
Review: I'm currently using this card in two of my machines (Both using high speed AMD CPUs), and I have yet to see another machine significantly outclass the gaming performance of either one. Before installing the second card, I briefly tried a Diamond S540 (Savage 4 chipset), and while at high resolution (1280x1024, 1600x1200) was slightly faster in redrawing the Windows environment, the 3D Blaster killed it everywhere else. I don't even let ATI or Voodoo cards near my machines... :] I did have some stability problems with the included drivers, but this has been fixed in the updated drivers. You can't go wrong with this card...

Summary: Fantastic results and easy to work with
Review: I've seen people complain a little about this card, but I can't find anything wrong with it. I'm pretty savvy with peecee parts and this card is as easy to work with as any other card out there. The first thing I did was to upgrade the card bios and drivers which were easily obtained from their website. I loaded them up and started a few games and WOW! This card is coming down in price, so if you have an AGP bus, go for it. You can email me if you want tips or info on this card. DS

Summary: Hold on- It's going to get fast...
Review: The Creative Labs newest venture into the video card market has brought back impressive results. The 3D Blaster RIVA TNT2 Ultra is one of the fastest cards you can buy, and a gamer's dream come true. When paired with a top-notch processor, this little card can crunch through triangles like a hot knife through a jello jiggler. I tested it against Diamond Multimedia's and Herclues' TNT2 Ultra cards, and the Creative Labs held its own very well. All three cards are comparable in performance, and the Creative tends to be the lower priced one. A fantastic deal for what it does, and a glimpse of great things to come...

Summary: WASTE OF MONEY
Review: This card has been a great disappointment to me. It's slow in almost all my games such as Descent3, Quake 3, Need for Speed: High Stakes, and many others. So what that it does 32-bit rendering! On the screen there is practically no difference in color compared to the other cards. So what that it has 32 MB RAM! The only thing that much RAM is good for is high resolutions such as 1280x1024 and you're going nowhere without performance of a fast graphics chip which the nVidia Riva TNT2 Ultra (one big flashy name) does NOT have! Also the card does not support Glide which is the fastest API out now and most games use it. Compared to a V3 3000 AGP, this card is left coughing in the dust.
