Rating: Summary: Don't Buy this Card! (Sorry Amazon, just my opinion!) Review: Anyone out there who is looking for a card that performs even decently well, don't buy THIS one, please! It BITES! You can't get diddly for frame rates in any games that don't support Direct3D, and it's OpenGL support is apparently non-existent. I can't help but feel bad saying this because these fine people here at Amazon are trying to sell it, but I feel like I have to warn you. I bought this card for $69 OEM, and it's scarcely worth half that. Most 8MB video cards perform better than this one. If you are looking for a dirt-cheap video card, you can do a lot better than the Stealth. Possibly a Voodoo2 1000.(The V2 1000 with 12MB of graphics memory performs better than the Stealth with 32MB! ) But if you can afford it, buy a Voodoo3 3000 Or heck, buy it from Amazon. BUT PLEASE, don't buy a Stealth. You'll never forgive yourself if you do.

Rating: Summary: Not a good card...especially nowadays Review: back a long time ago when I had this card I would get odd colored clouds and everything in Asherons call...obviously an old outdated card now..get a geforce 4 TI, or if your looking for a good card at about the same price, a Geforce 2 GTS
Rating: Summary: If your a gamer, don't even consider this card!! Review: I have had this card for less than a year now, I am getting sick and tired of putting up with it. The card is extremely unstable around any of the latest Direct X applications. My system freezes up in any kind of video type application. I probably restart my system at least 20 times a day. Upon start up the screen will freeze. Or occasionally I will lose the card altogether on my system and have a blank screen through boot up.... I am a total gamer, i recently bought Tribes 2, and unbelievably cool game when my card doesn't freeze. Tribes 2 runs Direct X 8, which when introduced to the Stealth III was not runable 9 times out of 10...

Rating: Summary: Great card at an affordable price Review: I just bougth this card and I can tell you it performs great with my favorite games (Unreal, Episode I Racer) an it's unexpensive. great buy.
Rating: Summary: What they didn't tell you Review: I purchased this card, mainly for price and lack of research. I plugged it in. It does do well for video, for high resolution display, but it cannot deal with 2D games. It butcherizes them...I mean bad. In fact, one game would't play untill I went back to the old 4mb Vcard. The games it did poorly with were Axis and Allies,and Army Men 2. My son won't let me put it back. Anyone want this card cheap? When you upgrade card it shouldn't fail on older software.

Rating: Summary: Keep looking Review: If you care about video performance, keep on looking. This card is not gonna be the best for today's advanced games. Go with a Voodoo3 or a TNT2, those will keep you "up-to-date" for a while.
Rating: Summary: Horible card Review: This is one product that we need a "0 Stars" optinon on how do you rate this product, its absulutly horible. I got it to replace my VooDoo3 2000, thinking it would be better with more video ram, no, it was flickery, and slow, my desktop had lines all over it and i couldnt even run games. Do not buy this card, get a Geforce 2 or some VooDoo.
