Summary: It's Cheap.. Just Like What You Get For Your Money!
Review: This is a terrible piece of graphic card. It was good back in '99 but it is not good now. Most games now require 16MB. This only has a shockingly bad 12MB! The only thing you can play with this is StarCraft. Go get a GeForce3 or Voodoo5. Don't waste your time on this 2 year old card.

Summary: Still an Excellent Card
Review: Though the V2-1000 is an old card, it is still very usable, even with fairly recent games. We have three systems with the V2: an AMD K6-450 (dual cards, SLI), a PII233 (dual cards, SLI), and a PII233 (single card). Our favorite online game is Half Life (mainly Team Fortress), and these antique systems consistently deliver frame rates well over 60fps. Half Life has a 3DFX "minidriver" that takes full advantage of these cards in OpenGL mode! The primary drivers that come with the card work well - in fact, they are the only drivers I have found that consistently work at all. The textures are very smooth, and much more viewable than the rather grainy performance of many more modern cards in OpenGL or Direct3D. This card is a great choice for anyone with a slower cpu (or no AGP), since the card(s) takes the load off your processor. I'm sure I will have to upgrade someday (probably PNY GeForce3 TI200), but I have yet to see anything that will deliver this sort of performance on an older system. If you want solid performance using PCI on an antique system (like mine!), and your favorite programs support it, buy this card. Or better yet, buy two!
