Let's take a closer look at the PCB shall we:
The 3D Blaster is equipped
with a tv-output connector.
The Blaster comes with a TV-out module as
standard. A good way to play games or watch movies on the bigscreen. As you
probably know from other review the GeForce chipset is compatible for
High Definition Video Processor (HDVP)
full-screen, full-frame video playback of all HDTV and DVD and resolutions.
scene from Friends DVD Season 7 - Really
good quality ..
Furthermore, when we take a close look at the
card we notice that the card hasn't been equipped with ramsinks at all. Creative
Labs is one of the very few companies who does this :) In the past ram-sinks
have proven themselfes, in fact even nVidia's reference videocard is equipped
with it.
So this can definitely be a problem if you are a tweaker/overclocker as memory
can't be overclocked a lot. Or ... hmm, you better read the overclocking part in
this review. On the bright side, (for me) it saves me some time removing a
ramsink to gently see what kind of memory this GeForce3 has been equipped with.
We can easily see that the memory is
indeed 64MB 3.8ns DDR memory.
In the upcoming pages I will explain you the
benefits and the new technology that NVIDIA's GeForce3 Graphics Processing Unit
empowers. If you like to go straight to the benchmarks then click
