S3 Diamond Viper Ultra 770

Pros: Runs rock solid, best bang for the buck, sharp vibrant colors
Cons: No video out, lack of documentation

I recently received my new PC with Diamond Viper's V770 Ultra. I'm on a budget so this card offers my the best value for money. The Geforce cards are just too expensive for me right now. I must say that I am more than happy with the Viper's performance...

Pros: Inexpensive way for very good 3D performance
Cons: Better cards available, driver support uncertain

Greetings, sirs and madams.

This unworthy one's slight review on the topic at hand, is of the somewhat less speedy version of the featured product. The Diamond Viper V770 is a good card in and of itself. This unworthy one's opinion is that of...

Pros: Cheap Price, Great Performance
Cons: There are none

When you think of the company Diamond, the first thought that comes to mind is the quality video cards that they make. When I make my online purchase that was one of the reasons why I chose the Diamond Ultra 770 because the Diamond cards are quality...

Pros: 32mb memory and high rez graphics
Cons: Viper Ultra have a con I dont think so

I am a big computer game player and i gotta have the mouse, sound, monitor, and most importantly a really good video card so when i heard that Diamond had a new video card coming out called Viper i jumped on it and for only 200 dollars i had to grab this...

Pros: Speed, Value, Drivers, HOT Performance
Cons: Runs HOT

While the TNT2 chipset is nearing two years old, the only better video cards out there are the GeForces. At only around $70 currently, the Diamond Viper v770 series is a great buy for those on a budget. I bought a v770 in July 1999, and I have yet to...

Pros: Turbo-Charges 3D Games
Cons: none so far

When I first began my Quake 3 crusade, I was armed with a measly Matrox Millennium G200. Sure, this video card was great for 2D graphics and desktop publishing, but it was holding me back…

A friend recommended Diamond’s new Viper V770, with...

Pros: 2d mode, 3d mode, color quality
Cons: ultra high res 3d mode

Though a now discontinued card, the Viper 770 TNT2 Ultra video card is a fantastic card! Capable of 2- and 3- dimensional resolutions of 1600x1200 at 32 bit color depth this card rocks!

In 2D mode, my monitor is flicker free at 1600x1200...

Pros: 32mb RAM, supports 32bit color, excellent performance especially at higher resolutions when compared to other cards
Cons: Not Glide compatible like the 3dfx cards

If you're a hardcore gamer looking for great performance, high compatibility, and a great price...this is the card for you.

It sports 32megs of ram, a cooling fan on the processor (this solves many of the overheating issues people had with the...

Pros: Brilient swift 3d action, the next level in video manipluation.
Cons: NOT amd friendly, NO FAN!!!!

Viper V770 16meg AGP (not ultra)

My experience is based primarly on a VIA based Tyan 1590 board, which this particular card is none too friendly tward. Operation, a step in the right direction from a TNT/TNT128 based video card. I'm...

Pros: Cheap price. Supports 32-bit and 4X AGP. Great 2D/3D Speed.
Cons: Video card is not the fastest one in the block anymore. No TV out. No Glide support.

Diamond's Viper Ultra 770 beats out 3dfx's Voodoo 3 2000 as the new best "bang-for-the-buck" buy because of the following reasons.

First of all, I would like to share my belief in buying video cards. I believe that we should...

Pros: Fast performance, rich textures, box holds up well when being sent back to Diamond.
Cons: The damn thing is as stable as a house of cards in a tornado, expensive, out of date.

I love fast graphics cards, and I love Diamond products. But when it comes to the Viper 770, love hurts. Sure, its got a flashy Nidiva TNT2 Chipset, 32 big megs of ram, and runs fine as long as you don't keep it in the case for more then a half an...

Pros: Very Fast, supports AGP 4x and 2x
Cons: Ultra is better.

NVIDIA is no stranger in regards to the 3d gaming environment. Since their early days with the NV1 chip, they have made some great strides to captivate the gaming audience, and this past year has been no exception. What they've been able to pull of...

Pros: Practical, Reliable, Cost-Efficient
Cons: Lengthy Installation, Compatibility Issues

The Diamond Viper 770 Ultra has made improvements in nearly all respects over earlier models. Compared to the previous V550, this model has several new innovations and capabilities. Among these new developments include a faster RAMDAC (300 MHz), more...

Pros: Gives good performance, even on slower CPUs
Cons: gets a little hot

This summer I was looking for a good card to replace my rapidly aging 2mb Cirrus Logic card. I looked no further than the V770.

I have a K6-2 300@333 on a FIC PA-2013 motherboard. Even though it is recommened that you get a faster...

Pros: Has a fan and a DVD decoder
Cons: DVD decoder is software, has no TV out, the fan is cheap, the card costs more than other TNT2 Ultra cards, and has serious problems with Athlon based systems

I just cannot say enough bad about this card, it takes several attempts to get a system based on an Athlon CPU to start with this card, and when it does start, it is not worth the high price tag. The thing does not overclock as advertised well, as the...
