Sure Peter. I have only had the Geforce2 for two weeks and have
already gone through four sets of drivers and can name a number of
bugs in games/progs. But, I will let you find out what they are for
yourself.

Oh geez..another benchmark wuss. Those 3D Marks mean*** all to real
world performance because they take advantage of the T&L processor on
the Geforce2. How many games do you own right now that use T&L. As I
thought...none.

I believe 3DMark is his favourite game. Right Peter? :-)

3dmark2000 uses T&L, hence the big step. In real life *** though I find
3dmark less than useful... easy benchmark to use though.

Spend enough time with an Nvidia card, and changing drivers becomes a piece
of cake--doesn't take much time at all. I know.

Yep, I went through four sets of drivers in two weeks with the
Geforce2. Just exchanged it today for a V5 5500 though so that malarky
is over and done with. Now to go play SCGT with FSAA that doesn't pork
the menus.

Nos
Yep, I know that. The menus show graphics glitches in WWIIF with FSAA
or not. Opera's windows are screwed up if you maximize them, just like
Free Agent is on the Geforce2 card. This may be specific to the
Creative drivers though. But, it pissed me off enough to go back to my
beloved 3DFX.

Besides, you don't need me to setup parameters for a
static test. Just do a quick race from the rear of the field
then change the card and do it again. Then compare.
I believe it gives the current fps.
I guess you lost me here.

Well OK another endor***t for Nvidia :-)

Check that :-)

I also don't need to spend $300 to know that they have
problems with FSAA. So don't be an ahole.

I've just put my trusty old V2s in the box with this GF256. I can't bring
myself to bite on either 3dfx's or Nvidia's latest offerings, so I suppose
I'll just suffer without the FSAA for the time being and see what develops
in, oh, say the next six weeks or so--bound to be another "latest big thing"
out by then. :)
