Geforce2 Pro or Radeon VIVO ?

[flippo]

Hi guys ...
I need your opinion which one I should buy between Geforce2 Pro 64MB DDR or ATI radeon 64MB DDR VIVO from newegg ?
I knew that Radeon is good in 2D, i.e watch DVD but I also play 3d games which is Geforce2 is good in 3D.
and what about the driver for win2K ...?

Thanks
Eric

Radeon's drivers have improved a lot lately. I hear the new radeons are really SE's, and well it depends on what you use it for. I would rather have the radeon for it's 2d, and nice 3d also. plus picture quality is better.

Like said, the newest Radeons shipping are the SE version which is like the Pro is to the GF2 GTS. I'm not sure if Newegg has them and is shipping SE or not. You'd have to email them.

What do you plan to do? I chose a Radeon over a GF2 because I definitely need good 2d quality, needed the VIVO features, Radeon has better 3d image quality, and the dvd playback is nice in case I ever get a dvd-drive. My Radeon plays all my games fine and that's all I need. I don't care if it doesn't get 100fps. As long as 1024x768 or 1280x1024 plays well I'm happy.

And about drivers... they have improved a lot for win2k. For me, they are just as good as the win98 drivers but I haven't tested a wide variety of games so that's just me.

Thanks Lunotick and Eagle__2, I'll e-mail newegg to find out whether they shipped SE or not.
