It uses the NVidia Riva128 chip and is an all around great card. Currently is has no OpenGL drivers for Win95, but 2D is between a Millenium and a MillenniumII, Direct3D is as fast or faster as the Voodoo cards, and it has a solid TV-out. It doesn't support any native APIs so no 3Dfx or Rendition native games. If you were in the market for this card, I'd recommend you check out the Canopus version, the Total3D 128V: http://www.total3d.com/total3d128v.htm -- Eric T.

The biggest problem with my new Viper 330 card is that it does not run CPR right -- I've read the same elsewhere on r.a.s.. There is a SEVERE, read unplayable, flicker in the middle of your vision, at track level, across the entire screen. Very disappointing. I think I'm going to take mine back and get something that will run ICR2 Rendition, and wait for Voodoo2 for my 3dfx fix. Colin Taber
