Eric schrijft dat-ie bij Fast Graphics een roundup heeft neergemikt van zeven GeForce2 GTS videokaartjes, gemixt met een GeForce2 MX en een ATi Radeon 64MB. Performance verschillen tussen de GF2 GTS kaarten zijn er (zoals bekend) niet echt, wij tweakers kiezen dan uiteraard voor de meest overklokbare. Volgens Eric is dat in dit geval de AOpen PA256 Deluxe die dankzij zijn Open Bios zich zeer aardig laat overklokken. Verder wordt ook de Asus V7700 Deluxe wederom aanbevolen:
When you buy a GeForce 2 GTS card you won't have to base your decision on performance: All cards perform almost identical. The things to look at are price and/or added value.
In the lowest price segment we find the Creative Annihilator 2, which sells at low prices but has no added value. A little more expensive, but with a hardware monitor to check the cards status, is the Asus V7700 Pure. Both cards are excellent choices when you don't care much about extra features.
A very remarkable card is the Aopen PA256 Deluxe. Due to it's Open Bios functionality this card will definitely be the choice for overclockers.
Abit has done very well too with a great 64 MB GeForce 2 GTS card which overclocks very well.
Guillemot has added some value to their cards by making them look very cool with blue PCB's. But more interesting is the TV output which is found on both of their GeForce 2 GTS card.
More added value is found with the fully loaded Asus V7700 Deluxe. This is a true multimedia card and definitely the best equipped graphics card we've ever seen. With video in- and out, a set of 3D Glasses and a big load of software this card is clearly the winner of the test when it comes to the overall package.
