NVidia's GeForce3 graphics chipset is the top dog among graphics accelerators and PC Stats has a review posted on Visiontek's offering in that arena:
When I was given the opportunity to review the VisionTek GeForce 3, I immediately jumped at the chance. With it's huge reputation preceding it already, I was really looking forward to what I could 'persuade' this little green card to do for me... After all, the lure of playing games on a card with a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) with over 57 million transistors says a lot! The Visiontek Geforce 3 card layout is based almost exactly on nvidia's reference design, so the only luxury it comes with is a TV-output. With just about every GeForce 3 based card on the market right now coming sitting on the shelves with price tags of over $500CDN I was honestly quite happy there wasn't any software bundled. The software wouldn't be able to take advantage of the GPU anyway's, it would just inflate the price.
