Cons: None

Review: Updated Dec 27 - 2000 I guessed right!! Nvidia does have a major re-thinking going on... They just bought 3DFX's "Intellectual Property", my guess is to conjure up something that can compete with Radeon in (What Else) Open GL...
...

Cons: Price is a tad bit high, budget gamers may want to wait for 32 MB SDR version. Also, performance in 16 bit leaves a bit to be desired

Pros: Pure and simple speed and clarity always wanted in a vid card

Pros: Excellent 32-bit performance
