<< well, it is all looking like a repeat performance from Nvidia. All the benchmarks I have seen give the V3 the edge more often than not. >>

I wonder if any of the die-hard nVidiots know the saying "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

Oddly, the V3s wouldn't run at 1600 x 1200. Has anyone had any success in doing this.

Yes, I ran a full set of benchmarks in Q2 at 1600x1200 yesterday on my V3 2k. It was very playable. Crusher results were ~25 fps (low quality, full sound, non-OC, vsync off). Massive1 > 30fps. I love the 1280x960 setting. It is awesome looking and fast and works on my home monitor.

You have to use the MiniGL which comes with the V3 card.

I hope Tribes supports 1280x960 soon.

I love this card! (And my Intel Celeron 450A ;-)

Peter, my V3 3000 runs at 1600x1200 just fine. In fact Q2 and Half Life are playable at this res. in single player mode. I wonder what the problem was.
