Join me for a look at a much maligned 3D card from nVidia released at the end of TNT2’s lifecycle. This one is a Vanta LT AGP Card which was commonly sold in OEM builds and not targeted at gaming.

But in this project I will run it through a low-end and a high-end test rig from around 2000 - 2001 and check out how it performs under Windows 98SE under a variety of 3D accelerated DirectX and OpenGL games.

We even do some overclocking!
