Creative 3D Blaster Annihilator 2

Theres no doubting that this is one hell of a quick card. It is on a par just about with what in my opinion is the best buy graphics card of the moment, the ATI Radeon. In the benchmarks i've seen, the Radeon nicks it in some areas and the GeForce 2 nicks it in other areas, however the Radeon is a lot cheaper and therefore in my opinion nicks it overall, despite both being the same for speed. You can get several variations of the GeForce 2 at the moment. Theres a 32 Mb AGP, 64 Mb AGP and probably the most controversial of all, the 32 Mb AGP GeForce 2 MX. This is a cut down version of the GeForce 2 and can be picked up for around £110-00. This is a good price for a ...

I was amazed at how incredibly detailed the Half-Life world can be with a good graphics backbone behind it. But, being a power-hungry freak like I am, I needed more speed... I ...

The Geforce 2 is a monster of a card and the FPS will be matched by no other at the moment. It is however currently wasting some of its capability. The memory bandwidth is not enough to cope with the top speed of the card. This means that the peak fill rate can't be achieved if the textures are retrieved from the memory. You will not notice the difference in today’s games and maybe not in the next gen games, but its something that Nvidia has improved in the Geforce 2 Ultra version. The memory speed has to be increased faster than 6ns which would cost them a fortune at the moment, hence the cost of the Geforce 2 Ultra. It has all the other ...
