Monday, April 25th, 2005 | Reviews, Video Card Reviews
One of the biggest plusses is that it is available in AGP. Most other cards are switching to the newer PCI express technology, allowing them to take advantage of the higher bandwidth offered. So for those of you not looking to purchase a whole new system, but just to upgrade your new one, without switching to PCI express, this is perfect.
Let’s have a look at the features of this video card.
It supports DirectX9.0 Shader Model 3.0, which in essence means that it has the abilty to do much more complex calculations of shadows, allowing more realistic graphics.
It uses AGP 8x, which is the fastest of the AGP graphics slots. It incorporates UltraShadow Technology, which again improves rendering of shadows. 64 bit texture filtering, allowing finer and more detailed surface textures.
The ability to connect multiple monitors to one computer is a major plus. Besides the advantages for people using graphics intensive programs, the avility to use two monitors on a single computer can greatly increase your comfort. You can literally have double to desktop area on your comptuer, allowing you to have more programs open simultaneously on the desktop, greatly easing strain on work involving constant work with two programs.
The card comes with software to control how the two monitors work.
And finally, for those who have HDTV, it supports that too.
So if you are looking for powerful upgrade to your custom desktop computer or adding something to boost a cheap high powered gaming computer, this is a good option, especially as it’s price is so reasonable for what you get. And, in it’s class, it easily outrates the competition.
