Re: [TCLUG:6536] Best 3D video card

[Peter Lukas <peter@math.umn.edu>]

I just bought a 32MB TNT2 Ultra (the Diamond Viper 770 Ultra). This baby
smokes and came with it's own X server.  The windows tech demos are
outstanding.  I've always been of the Voodoo persuasion until I popped
this thing in my machine.  It was really spendy, but I'll buy most any
product that releases a Linux driver.  The X server is really nice (I'm
running 1600x1200x32 with 3D support) and fast.  Running Quake III under
linux has a ways to go yet, but it still looks pretty at 1152x900x32!
Did I mention their X server was released under the XFree86 license?
