In the beginning, God said "Textures and high polygon counts are good"; Then he picked up a copy of Entertainment Weekly and forgot all about what's important in computer gaming (aside from gameplay, graphics) until 2,000 years later.
Pros: 32bit graphics are sweet Cons: price, tv-out is useless
The GeForce 256 chipset has set a new level of graphic performance that has not been matched by any other competitor. 3dFX has their work cut out for them. Nvidia will soon release a new chipset NV10 that will outperform the GeForce, but until then it...
Pros: Price, performance, 32 meg memory, TV-out Cons: Not cheap, manual lacking, Bundle switch of XingDVD for PowerDVD in recent boxes
My machine is starting to show just a little bit of its age, and some of its purchase decisions which were PERFECT 16 months ago are starting to turn into thin ice and crack.
One of those great decisions was the Voodoo3 2000 PCI. The bargain...
Pros: Absolutely screams! Framerates are through the roof Cons: Pricey, especially as an upgrade
As a college student, I am required to play computer games for a certain number of hours every day (23). I had been playing them on my laptop, and doing so successfully (see my review on the Dell Inspiron 7000), but I felt I was missing something. I...
Pros: Handles all 4 spectrums of the 3D pipeline, highest framtrates available, its 16bit color mode looks like 32bit on a TNT2 Ultra, THE ULTIMATE, THE ONLY CONSUMER LEVEL GPU(Graphics procesing unit) Cons: uuummmmmm if you break it in half, it won't work
What can I say about this card. I caould just say it's the ultimate and leave it at that(but I'm not) This card has everything you could want on it. Blazingly fast framerates, 16,24,and 32bit color depth, great game support etc etc... I didn't want to...
With pc games growing daily and graphic cards coming out ever few weeks it’s hard to choice the right card. There are so, so many graphic cards out there. I always want the fastest and best looking card out there, at the time I bought my GeForce 256 it...
Pros: GeForce 256 Chip, TV-out, Overclockable Cons: More expensive & slightly slower than the Annihilator.
As far as face value goes, The Guillemot 3D Prophet is a great card, due to the fact that it is powered by the GeForce 256 graphics chip. But face value is all you can throw at it originally without adding in slightly harder facts.
Pros: Excellent image quality, speed, state of the art. Cons: Pricey, early in product cycle.
I have to confess that I've been anticipating the GeForce based cards for some time now. I had ordered a Creative Labs card online and was getting tired of waiting. So when I saw this one at Best Buy, I just had to have it. There were no other GeForce...
Pros: Fast, 32-bit Colors, High Res Gaming Graphics Cons: T+L Engine hasn't been impemented on any games yet...
Well.. it FINALLY happened. I bought myself a new videocard and decided to go with the Guillemot 3D Prophet. So far, with a few gripes excluded, it's been a pretty bomb card.
First of all, I got this card for a very reasonable price ($209 for...
Pros: Apparently great tech reviews; great value (comes bundled with MystIII) Cons: The dreaded "I" word (Incompatibility issues)
A supposedly great new card, the Hercules Prophet 4500 64mb graphics card may not work on your computer. I know that this is the Prophet 34mb category, but this review is only to give some advance warning for those of us who want more 3D power for the...
Pros: Super fast speed, beautiful picture quality Cons: A bit pricey (at $269.00)
When I got my new computer (800 Athlon, 128 RAM)I really needed the best graphics card for games and DVD. I found it in the 3D Prophet. Although a bit pricey, the Prophet displays awesome resolutions with some lightning fast framerates. If you are...
Pros: Fast, Good Game Support, 2000 Loves it! Cons: XP Support 'iffy' works sometimes, others it chooses not to.
I was in the market for a new card, my Linux box needed a nice ol Voodoo3 3000AGP and that meant my Windows box needed a new card. I went to the local CompUSA and this was on sale for $89.95 so I took the plunge. Hurclues has been around since the early...
Pros: Fast Card Cons: Newer cheaper cards are faster
I recently changed from a 3D Prophet DDR to a Creative Labs Annihilator 2 MX and I can't tell the difference. Of course the price was a BIG difference. I got the MX card for $140 and I paid almost $300 for the 3D Prophet DDR about a year ago. The frame...
Pros: Speed, Graphic processor Unit Cons: price only
If you are a gamer this card is for you. This is the most advanced Graphic Card the very first generation that includes a Graphic Processor integrated that does a part of the CPU's work.
I think that If you have enough money and want to have...
Pros: Speed, TV-Out, falling price Cons: Not quite as fast as the DDRAM GeForce boards
People looking for leading edge performance and technology without paying absolute top dollar should take a look at the 3D Prophet. As more and more DDR Geforce cards are trickling onto shelves, the prices of the SDRAM cards continue to drop. I picked...
