Does this use the TNT2 chipset?

Is this the same as the Viper II V770 (Ultra)?

Thanks

a Viper II isn't worth it for free

The Viper II uses the Savage2000 chipset.

Havent heard too many good things about this card. No wonder its so damn cheap. the v770 was a lot better i think, but it is hard to get now.

I am using this card, and am happy with it.

I've been running this card for almost a year now ...

Its far from perfect .... but it is certainly better then a TNT2 Ultra

most of its initial driver and compatibility problems have been solved for quite some time now

its not the fastest card in the world ..
but with it i can get 60+FPS in UT 1024x768x32bit

and i get over 50FPS in q3 1280x1024x32bit


Its also great for DVD playback

and the S-video TVout looks pretty good (too bad it does not support higher then 640x480 tvout)

(this pc is a Kt7 raid w/ Duron700@950 ... i've also run this Vid card on a BH6 with both celeron 300a@464 and celeron 533@896...


i bought this card when the SdrGeforces were available .. and this card was 1/2 the price .....(it was a big upgrade from my first generation Pure3d voodoo card)

NV20 better be out soon ... else i will be tempted to get me a gf2 ... and dammit .. i want a card that can play every game out at 1600x1200x32bit ... and get over 60FPS ...
