VisionTek Xtasy 6964
WHAT'S HOT: In MDK2, at 1600 by 1200 resolution using 32-bit color, the Xtasy 6964's frame rate, at 102 frames per second, was about forty percent higher than the rates achieved by the Radeon 8500. However, In Quake III at the same resolution and color depth, the VisionTek card was only marginally faster than the 8500.
WHAT'S NOT: This card is one of the most expensive power cards in our current batch. Colors looked bland and washed out in MDK2, and texture anomalies hindered the card's scores in Test Drive 6, where yellow shapes appeared and the screen occasionally went dark for a moment. Also, we had to install the card's drivers manually because Autorun didn't work on the driver CD.
WHAT ELSE: The Xtasy 6964 supplies a DVI-out port for use with a digital monitor.
UPSHOT: This card is fast and it's very expensive, too. Gamers itching for speed may want to wait until the price comes down.
