Glide Underground has posted a review on the 3D Prophet DDR-DVI.



There have been countless videocards released over the past several years. The crown of performance and quality has been passed on and different technologies have come and gone. Computers have gone through various phases in videocards, 2D adapters, 2D accelerators, 3D adapters, and then onto 3D accelerators. Each phase has brought in various technologies that have been accepted to the computer community in various ways in accordance to how well that product performed. There were always those that were top performers and then those that were at the lowly bottom of the chain. One company that has always been on top of things has been NVIDIA ever since the beginning of their short-life since the initial release of their RIVA 128 chipset.

NVIDIA has always been at the top of the performance peak in terms of 3D gaming and will likely keep this throne for the foreseeable future. Since the verge of their history changing RIVA TNT chipset, they´ve never looked back to see what they left behind once they became the performance king. The following generations of the TNT chipset was the Vanta, TNT2, TNT2 Pro, TNT2 Ultra, TNT2 M64, and GeForce 256. Although only three of those chipset reach mainstream, they were all solid products that delivered for the cost-effective solution. Their current generation rests on the new, GeForce DDR chipset.
