Richard BaguleyPhotograph by: Rick RiznerAsus AGP-V8200T2 DeluxeFrame rate scores for all of our test games were consistently high on this card at most resolutions and colors in our test games also looked accurate.At higher resolutions, we saw somewhat slower frame rates in our test games than we've seen from cards that use the faster NVidia GPUs, such as the GeForce3 Ti 500. Although it rendered colors accurately, the lighting looked a little dark in Quake III, which could cause problems in game play if the bad guys are hiding in dark corners. The textures in MDK2 also looked a little flat. This card comes with S-Video- and -out and composite-in and -out, which is useful for video editing and playing games on a TV. Also included are a set of 3D glasses with a cord that plugs into the card and ULead's Video Studio video editing software. Although the AGP-V8200T2 Deluxe does come with a strong set of features, it is on the more expensive end of the scale. The manual is adequate, but it covers the entire V8200 range of cards, with relatively little information on this specific card.The Asus AGP-V8200T2 Deluxe provides solid performance and a few extra features for those who want to play games and do some video editing.2304X AGP, NVidia GeForce3 Ti 200 chip, 64MB of DDR SDRAM, 350-MHz RAMDAC; S-Video-in and -out, composite-in and -out; 3D glasses; video editing software, software DVD player. www.asus.com510/739-3777
