If you want the fastest D3D acceleration, go for the Viper......but, if you want 3dfx acceleration, you'll need to get something else, because the TNT chipset doesn't support 3dfx...... I recommend the Guillemot Maxi 3d Gamer Phoenix (also 16 Mb AGP Banshee).......it's supposedly faster, but certainly cheaper than the Fusion... I bought one myself yesterday and it runs q2 at 800x600 at 35 fps... Haven't tried 1024x768 yet....... DOWNLOAD NEW DRIVERS FROM 3DFX FIRST If you play Shogo, look for a patch on the internet, cause I haven't been able to run the demo yet......it doesn't detect the board somehow...
