Gladiac AKA VIsiontek?

[themadmonk]

I noticed that on the back my ELSA Gladiac there is a sticker saying, "Trademark VisionTek". Is this card the same as VisionTek's?

Yep. Elsa gf2's are manufactured by Visiontek.

 

[themadmonk]

Stupid ELSA.

 

[Compellor]

Why is ELSA stupid? Both the Visiontek and ELSA GeForce 2 GTS are top notch video cards.

 

[themadmonk]

Because I was buying on the premise of "German Engineering", only to find out Taiwan.

that must be why ur so mad......visiontek makes some sweet cards though so i wouldnt let it get to ya.

Visiontek is based in good ole Chicago, IL
and all their cards are <GASP!> MADE IN THE USA.
. . . . and, their tech support is second to none.

 

[Jugernot]

Really? That's cool!

 

[Kingofcomputer]

But every ELSA card I see is made in taiwan.

Three of my friends own or owned Visiontek GF2 ultras...Visiontek nVIDIA cards have the clearest 2D I've seen.

 

[Zambonni]

I was told by visiontek that all their cards are made in the US.
They also produce ELSA, but maybe they make them overseas. Dunno.
I can't get at my Visiontek card now to look to see if it has a sticker or not. Anyone else have an ELSA or Visiontek handy??

My Elsa GF2 GTS has a sticker on it that indicates it was made in Hungary.

Where does it say where it was made? Is it on the front(the fan side), or the back?

 

[Skooch]

Either there's a sticker on back of the card, or I read it printed on the circuit board somewhere, dont remember for sure. I can open my case up if you think its absolutely necessary.
