Creative 3D Blaster Riva TNT2 Ultra

I got this card built into my PC when I bought it. At the time, the Geforce was still in the works and this card was pretty much THE card to own. It comes with 32 Mb of Graphics RAM, which by today's standards is still pretty good! This card has handled everything that I have thrown at it (except DVD playback -We'll go into that later). All the new games look pristine with this card - Black and White, Unreal Tournament, Quake 3 - all run perfect! With 3D applications, the card has handled the real-time rendering of fairly complex objects - using direct X shaders/ sometimes Open Gl. What else can be said to praise this card??! Oh yes - the ...  Read the complete review

I am currently running a Creative Riva TNT 2 Ultra on my system and would recommend it to everybody and anybody...If you could still get the card. I have trawelled through every computer reseller in the UK (okay I'm exaggerating, but not by much) and unless it stuck in the dusty corner of some of the PC World which dot the Great British countryside, you just can't get this card anymore, you can find plenty of it's handicapped little brothers called the M64's which retail for about £70 but these just don't hold a candle to the original TNT2 Ultra chipset. Creative (and indeed' Nivdia) want you to buy the shiny new Geforces (Pro ...  Read the complete review

I needed to buy a new grpahics card so I look through some magazines and decided on the TNT 2 Ultra Gamer. Deciding on a Graphics card is not an easy thing nowadays. Depending on what you want to do with it games, office use. Chosing a card was not easy I went for the tnt2 riva ultra gamer. Brilliant 32 bit colour, with fast frame rates stable drivers (detonator 3.84) games run like a dream. There is some slowdown mainly because of the spec of my machine. The price was a bargin at a £100 and it will last till something better comes alone.

In terms of pure performance, set your sights higher than the Riva TNT2. Buying a powerful graphics card is usually the preserve of games-players to whom I would have difficulty recommending this card given the other options available. That said, for less intensive computer users the TNT2 is a good choice as it is low cost yet reliable. The standard test of pure graphics power comes down to frame rates - the more frames your graphics setup can draw per second, the more fluid your picture is and the better the gaming experience. The graphics card works in conjunction with your processor to draw complicated bjects and assist in reducing these frame-rates. The bad ...  Read the complete review
