Advantages: Fast, Very Fast, High Quality

Disadvantages: Expensive, Costs too much, requires mucho deneiro !

Yes, the VisionTek GeForce 3 is ultra fast and ultra expensive. Is it worth it? I think it really depends on the type of monitor you have. The GeForce 3 is not design to run your games at 1024x768. Leave that to lessor GeForce cards. No, the GeForce 3 is made for 1600x1200x32 bit gaming with antialiasing on and here`s the problem. Most people don`t have monitor that can do that. So unless you have a 19` or 21` monitor, you may be better off sticking with a lesser GeForce.

The VisionTek GeForce 3 is one nice looking video card. Those RAM sinks just look way cool on those DDR RAM. This is a high end card meant for high end systems. Don`t expect the GeForce 3 to be much faster than an overclocked GeForce 256 if you put it into anything slower than a Pentium 3 500. Even my 1.3Ghz TBird had trouble keeping up!

The visual quality moves a notch above other video cards with the addition of Quincunx antialiasing. Quake 3 has never looked better and some of those game demos in 3DMark 2001 look like something out of Toy Story!

The GeForce 3 already runs at a very high speed, but you can still overclock it if you really want to. The card also handles very high AGP bus speed so if you`re running an old BX motherboard like the Abit BX133-RAID you won`t have to worry about the card not working at 150Mhz Front Side Bus
