Visiontek GTS-V Question

A great deal considering people report great overclocking results even though it has 7ns ram. I would put it just above the Radeon 32mb in performance.
 
Don't really know much about the Kyro other than you have to enable/dissable features in the controll properties to make it work right in some games. I would go with the Visiontek, should work fine out of the box with decent gameplay in all apps. Hell, it's only what, $52.00? That's cheap. and remember, those benches are for non-overclocked cards, so add 5-8fps minimum to those figures, cause you are going to overclock right? 😎
 
I have one. It easily overclocks to 200/333, and I don't remember perfectly, but I've gotten it to about ~225/~355.
 
It's an excellent card for the money, especially since it's even cheaper now. It's would do just about as well any regular GTS in Anand's test review once overclocked to regular speeds (I have two that can exceed that). I would, however, still lump it under the category of "budget" card and would not expect it to run as good as say a GF3 or Radeon 8500 on future titles.
 
My biggest complaint with the Soltek so far is it does not register fan speed below 400rpm. Most CPU fans are well above that and show rpm's, but most case fans/power supply fans are slower than that, so the won't show-up in minitoring.
 
I purchased the Visiontek Geforce2 GTS-V from Newegg a couple of months ago.

I'm so happy I did. This is an outstanding card!

The memory runs a tad slower than stock GTS speeds, but I was able to easily overclock the card to the maximum possible thru Coolbits--I believe 220/330. So my card is now running faster than stock GTS speeds and I have ZERO artifacts. Let me point out that I replaced the stock fan with a blue-orb and put some cooling fins on the card's ram, so I'm sure this helped a lot.

For the $50 or so that this is selling for... what a bargain! Very good performance for the money.
 
The GTS-V is a slam-bang bargain. At $64 it was a bargain - at $51 it's a STEAL. I bought one just for the heck of it a while back - I overclocked mine to match the standard clock speeds of the GF2 Pro I also have, and it performs on a par with that. Which is to say, very nicely.
 
Yes the visiontek one is a big bang for the buck and is good card.
Furthermore, the 2d image is also very good.
However, the one I got doesnt overclock that well, it will freeze if I
OC it to 333ram
so I set it at 223
 
I want to add if you want a card now with price and performance ratio get this card now and if you use Via chipset with WinXP use 23.12 WHQL driver they are in my opinion and tests I conducted the most stable and with 23.11 speed and is the latest compatible driver for winXP.

If you are not in a hurry wait until Geforce4 come out I have seen leaked info that the card goes as low as 75 dollars. chepest MX card of course.
