How is a Pine nVidia TnT Vanta 16mb Video card?

[comptech69]

I have an AMD K6-II+ 450 computer system and I have purchased from tigerdirect, a Pine nVidia TnT Vanta 16mb AGP 2x video card. My question is how are the quality of these cards, any problems, compatability issues, etc... All I want if for is internet, some games, and some video confrencing.

I know some of the stuff on tigerdirect is pretty bad, but this was very affordable for what I am using it for.

they should be fine for internet and video conferencing, but unless you play games that are two years old it probably wont work out....

some shops are still selling these cards, but for a bit more you can get a geforce mx200, dont think their is much choice

Lets face it! A K6-2+450 is not going to play the games that are brand new. So the size of ram is sufficient for me. I don;t have the time to play many games. Im usually working or repairing other computers.

My main question is, how is the quality of these cards? I have used many SiS chipset cards and had problems with the display fuzzing on the sides and a constant line that will run down the screen over and over. I hoped to get rid of this problem goin with the nVidia chipset.

I'm still waiting for it to arrive, the snow is slowing UPS down a bit.

I have a Pine TNT-2 32meg PCI card that I bought when I had a board that only had PCI. It has been a good card, obviously not top of the line, but it's video quality is good, and it is a decent gamer. Using NVmax really helped. It ought to be fine. I bought it from Tiger Direct as well.

Is this a fic 2013 M/B? I have one and it is very timpermintal with what video is installed. PLS go to the fic web site http://www.fic.com.tw/ and go to FAQ on that M/B if will give you a list on card that will not work. I have one of these M/Bs and don't go over 16mb of video I have a 64mb and i had to disable my 2mg of cache for it to run. good luck
