Desktop Graphics Card Comparison Guide - Page 10

The only difference i know between the vanta and ordinary TNT2. Is that the Vanta and M64 have 64bit ram and the normal TNT2 have 128bit ram.

I'm pretty sure, that the Vanta isn't more different from the TNT2, than the 9600SE and 9600.

hey, I wonder is it possible for you guys to include the current price whever you update these guides. I know the price is different among various vender and manufactures, but an approximate of the price would also be good to give potential buyer an idea of the performance vs price ratio

zy · 16th Oct 2004, 04:45 PM

I think that would be rather difficult ..
because some cards are outdated .. some card cant be found in certain areas ..
different countries also migh have different price.. so as different places..

so its rather difficult to do so i guess ?..

Chai · 16th Oct 2004, 05:17 PM

Yup, that's the problem if we include prices. We are also not including prices into our reviews for the same reason, unless we can only purchase it online.

Viper007Bond · 16th Oct 2004, 05:57 PM

Plus, prices change so fast...

Perhaps a link like this though for each card that you can still buy:

Max_87 · 16th Oct 2004, 10:26 PM

It is not possible

The prices change very fast and some of the cards are outdated, like what they had said
