Despite the release of the NV40 and R420 graphics processors from Nvidia and ATI respectively I've found this video card a very capable performer. It's a full-length AGP monster but it's able to run Doom 3 on my box at 1024x768 at High resolution without a single hiccup.
Some hardcore hardware harpies might chirp gleefully about higher framerates and PS 3.0 support with their NV40 boards, which is all good. But ASUS's V9980 Ultra deserves a place in any gamer's rig. I give it high marks and my endorsement. |
