Hi Guys, I recently won a 64mb GeForce 2 GTS on e bay. It is made buy visiontek. Now something I didn't know before was that Nvidia doesn't make all graphic cards associated with it's name. I'm new to this graphic card thing. So I was wondering if the visiontek version of the Nvidia card I listed above is good? Meaning does anyone have massive problems installing it, does it cause crashes or malfunctions in other games? Thanks for the help.------------------

Mine is giving me fits, but only because of my cheezy chipsetr on my mobo. It turns out the original Irongate Chipsets don't get along with the Nvidia gforce chips.IP: Logged |

So if I have a good motherboard, I shouldn't have trouble? I don't know much about the Mother board on my PC but I just got my computer this year from gateway. So it is a fairly new mother board, not sure if that makes it any better. THanks for the reply------------------

Argon has a Visiontek 2MX-400, but in general, most cards with the Nvidia chipset perform to the same level.IP: Logged |

Blacksheep; Just to be on the safe side, peruse the FAQ at http://www.geforcefaq.com/ to see if Visiontek is one of the few makers that have trouble using Nvidia reference drivers, or tweaks. I don't think it is, though. Then it comes down to as they said, your motherboard and the chipset/drivers. From newsgroups, I still get the impression that VIA chipsets don't exist well with Nvidia, but I find it hard to believe at this late date. From the sound of it, you should be ok.If you do have problems, the URL I mentioned above could prove helpful, as well as the forums at http://www.guru3d.com/ . Enjoy the card!  LOL...I am going to have to do a reinstall of SDOE, for only the 3rd time in nearly 4 years, due to some sudden and inexplicable graphics corruption, and I have to say I would rather install a video card than go through reinstalling SDOE. ------------------

Won = Free. Free = Good. If it doesn't work properly you're not out the $150Cdn they want for one here. Put it in and try it. If it doesn't work right you have trading goods.IP: Logged |
