Patrick Schmid van Tom's Hardware Guide heeft de GeForce2 Ultra van Elsa eens onder de loep genomen. De GeForce2 Ultra van Elsa is, zoals alle andere Ultra kaarten momenteel op de markt, gebaseerd op het reference design van nVidia. Wat alle andere Ultra kaarten echter niet hebben en deze wel, is een Revelator bril . Of je voor dit alles 450+ dollar neer wil leggen is jouw keus, maar volgens Schmid krijg je er in ieder geval een mooi statussymbool mee:
$450+ is a huge amount of money, even for an excellent graphics board like the Gladiac Ultra. One advantage this card has over its competitors are the included 3D Revelator Stereo-glasses, which make the Gladiac Ultra a rather exclusive choice.
We could not spot any performance difference between NVIDIA's reference board and the Gladiac Ultra. So far, all released graphics boards with the GeForce 2 Ultra are based on this reference design. Hence it doesn't make sense to pick a certain model because of its performance.
[...] Due to NVIDIA's elite chip, the Elsa Gladiac Ultra belongs to the upper class in any event. The long warranty time of 6 years and the 3D glasses are a basis to differentiate between the competition. It's hard to say how many potential buyers will truly be interested in the 3D glasses however. I tend to call the Gladiac Ultra one of the most impressive status symbols in terms of 3D graphics.
