With a full 32MB of memory on the card, the XPERT 2000 has the resources needed to handle 32-bit color and high resolutions in 3D games. The XPERT 2000 uses ATI's acclaimed Rage 128 graphics core, a fast 128-bit chip that provides plenty of 3D acceleration for a smooth gaming experience. Well, ATI's XPERT 2000 is the upgrade for you: an inexpensive graphics card that meets everyone's wants and expectations. Oh, and you also don't have money to burn. These exciting features enable a range of applications from the hottest 3D games to full-screen, 30fps DVD playback.Ī family PC has to be a real crowd-pleaser: your son wants fast, thrill-packed 3D games your daughter is developing a talent for computer artwork your wife has a black belt in Internet browsing and you enjoy watching the occasional DVD movie. The RIVA TNT2 delivers the industry's fastest Direct 3D acceleration, leadership VGA, DirectDraw and video performance. In addition to DirectX support, the RIVA TNT2 provides a complete high-performance professional-grade OpenGL ICD, included in the standard software package. The RIVA TNT2 meets all the requirements of the mainstream PC graphics market and Microsoft's PC'98, PC'99, DirectX 6.0 and 7.0 initiatives. The RIVA TNT2 is the fastest true-color accelerator with Digital Flat Panel and AGP 4X support. The RIVA TNT2's 32MB frame buffer, 32-bit color pipeline, and 32-bit Z/stencil buffer deliver unsurpassed quality and performance. Its TwiN Texel (TNT) architecture is the world's fastest 128-bit 3D processor that delivers 2 pixels/clock and single-pass multi-texturing. The RIVA TNT2 sets the standard for high-performance 3D processors. The same card though provides sound within Win 98, and non-DOS gaming, on my more "modern" 775 G31 mobo, but without support for DDMA within the chipset, there is no sound at all for DOS games, either in W98 or pure DOS mode.Īgain this is my own experience and opinion, more DOS purists will disagree with this, but based on budget and being limited to PCI, it's served me well.RIVA TNT2 M64 - based on the RIVA TNT2 core, this chip's 64-bit memory interface provides a cost-effective frame buffer solution for mainstream desktops. I use this card via an integrated sound chip on my MS-6156 440BX motherboard, which does have ISA, but again all down to budget, and an actual physical PCI card for my P4 socket 478 build, obviously with no ISA slots, both fine in W98 DOS and pure DOS mode. Forget game music with it though, the FM is terrible via SB16 emulation, but general MIDI is good, and sound effects via SB16 emulation works 100% - the card is also cheap, and works well with gaming within 98/XP usage as well. I fall into that bracket and use an ES1371 PCI card, but with Creative 128 PCI drivers. Not everyone has a working board with an ISA slot, nor the funds to buy cards such as AWE32/64 etc etc.
