Which TNT 2? AGP 1x,2 etc.

[Handag]

I am trying to decide what TNT 2 card to get. Which is better out of the Creative Labs and the Diamond one. I want a TV out but the Diamond does not have one.

What other makes of TNT 2 are there that have the same performance of the Diamond Viper and have a TV out. and they must be available in the UK.

what are the speeds of the following AGP slots - 1x , 2x and 4x. in MHz please.

thanks a lot.

The AGP slot runs at 66MHz at all x-speeds. The data transfer rate is the difference. 2X is about 530MB/s and 4x is about 900MB/s.

I don't know the availability of TNT2 cards over in the UK. I was thinking about getting the v770 Ultra board from Diamond or the one from Elsa. I looked into the Asus and LeadTek. Today, I finally ordered the TNT2 Ultra board direct from Hercules. They were the only ones who would confirm that all their retail cards will ship at the 175/200 MHz clock speeds. With an overclocking utility included. They have three models; one has TV-out, another includes software DVD and the stripped down version with no TV or DVD.

It seems like Hecules may have cut a deal with nVidia to procure the cream-of-the-crop chips. (there is no bases for this statement other than the fact that Hercules is the only so far publicly committed to the 175/200+ speeds.

I'll find out soon enough.
