Graphics Card Round up Based On The Geforce2 GTS Chipset   Reviewed by: Date : September 02nd 2000

Siluro GF256 GTS 64MB

Manufacturer : Abit

Price : $350-$400

• Overclocking

Well I got on to the overclocking with more hope this time. But boy what a disappointment! All I could go up to was 220MHz(core)/385 MHz (memory). Anything more than that the game would either crash or artifacting would occur.(don't forget I managed a whopping 250/410MHz with the Tornado) The over clocked temperature was at 128 F.I feel part of the blame here should go to the ineffective thermal pad that Abit has used between the heat sinks & GPU. As to why the memory couldn't be clocked any higher is still a mystery!

Pros:

• Very complete user manual
• The two bundled games Test drive 5 & Shogo though old is nice to have been included
• S-Video output

Cons:

• Price is on the high side
• Not freely available.

The next in line is; the Guillemot 3D Prophet II GTS 64MB
