FiringSquad has posted a review on the MSI 815 GeForce 2 Pro video card.
A GeForce2 review? I vaguely recall something else that deserves all the attention right now. The GeForce3 is it? Yeah, well it´s just going to have to wait a little longer for its day in the sun. We figured that one last run with the GeForce2 might just do us some good; after all, coughing up $500 for the new card is probably on the same to-do list as the one with "sever left pinky" on it. Besides, we haven´t done a GeForce2 Pro review yet. So before the time runs out on the clock, we figured we could pop one out.
With all the variations of the GeForce2 running around, what exactly makes the Pro special? If we toss the seemingly runty GeForce2 MX out of the way, the GTS, Pro and Ultra are all essentially the same cards. The core of these cards is nothing like the neutered MX. All the pixel pipelines remain intact, so rest assured that you will not be getting something akin to the newer Celeron when you get any of these cards.
