Digit-Life Review: March 2004 3Digest

Veridian3

"Monthly 3D Digest is the project of iXBT.com devoted to releases of new Windows XP (monthly) and Windows 9x/ME (once in 4 months) drivers for popular videocards (released from the 10th of February 2004 to the 10th of March 2004). As usual, there are many diagrams containing the information on changes in operation of videocards at change to last version drivers, and also summary diagrams of popular modern videocards performance. Traditionally we provide the best price/performance information for our 3Digest. Quality aspects are reviewed in the section dedicated to Windows XP."

Funny how they leave out the best deal- The 9700pro can still be purchased even though they don't make it anymore. It's not like they fell off the face of the earth... and it will beat any ATI card but the top three in the list..

183.00 bucks no tax no shipping for anyone in US (lots of people)- but peeps in 3 states need to pay a small tax- Still the best deal in America. good deal
