Top 10 Graphics Boards

Number Nine's Revolution 3D SGRAM just misses the chart despite a tempting $179 price tag.

  


SUMMARY
Yuan 3Dxtreme


PRO: Competitive 2D performance, good price for a board with a Riva 128 chip
CON: AVI video playback is poor, 3D performance isn't as good as on other boards with this chip, missing some key utilities, no toll-free or weekend support
$160; 4MB of SGRAM; 230-MHz RAMDAC; nVidia Riva 128 chip; no bundled software


The Yuan 3Dxtreme uses nVidia's Riva 128 chip, which usually results in competitive 2D performance and very good 3D. But the Riva didn't come through on 3D this time: the 3Dxtreme is slow in 3D games compared to other boards with the Riva 128 (like the Diamond Viper V330 and the STB Velocity 128).
