Introduction
NVIDIA
once again comes up with an industry-leading product
and its the first in its class. NVIDIA's GeForce3
introduced a lot of new features and innovative
technology thus making it the high end card to
get. The GeForce3 makes use of many of the new
features added in DirectX8 and has a new architecture
compared to the older cards. Aside from the basic
differences, NVIDIA finally made Anti-Aliasing
a very viable option with the GeForce3 with the
new High Resolution Anti-Aliasing technology available
in the GeForce3. The GeForce3 also boasts of better
visual quality over the previous video cards.
VisionTek
is an OEM company that manufactures video cards.
They now also have their own line of video cards
primarily based on NVIDIA chips. Since VisionTek
is an OEM company, they closely follow the reference
design of NVIDIA video cards so you can't really
expect anything fancy coming from VisionTek when
it comes to their video cards.

The
VisionTek GeForce3 comes in a black-purple bubbly
box. Inside the package, you'll get the GeForce3
in an anti-static bag, a user's manual and installation
guide and a driver CD. Aside from that, there's
nothing else inside. It's really just a plain
video card.
Since
VisionTek closely follows NVIDIA's reference design
and specifications, everything is very much standard.
The VisionTek GeForce3 uses the standard NVIDIA
heatsink and ramsinks. The card also has tv-out
which could prove to be quite useful for those
who don't just play games. Now, watching media
files from your computer to a big screen is very
easy. Since VisionTek just has a plain card, you
can expect the prices of the video card to be
quite cheaper than the rest. Performance-wise,
there shouldn't be any difference when they are
at default speeds.
