Описание

The Diamond Viper V550 is another graphic card based on the world acclaimed Riva TNT graphic chipset. Very similar to the STB Velocity 4400, the Viper V550 only difference is the lack of a TV out (at least on the unit tested) . So you can't use it on something else other than a computer monitor. This may not represent a problem for you and me but some peoples might be a bit deceived by the lack of this feature. The Viper V550, like all TNT based graphic card comes equipped with 16Mb of SDRAM memory and its drivers are offering support for both the OpenGL and Direct 3D renderings. The Nvidia Riva TNT is a very well designed graphic chipset helping us to forget about the many flaws affecting the infamous Riva 128 graphic chipset. The only thing we could complain about this graphic card is the fact that the performance of the Riva TNT graphic chipset is much lower than the performance first announced by Nvidia. As a fact, from the promised fill rate of 250 million Pixels per second clocked at 125Mhz, Nvidia dropped the fill rate to 180 milion Pixels per second and clocked the whole thing at 90Mhz. This performance drop is mostly due to the fact that the processor was supposed to be manufactured by using a the .25 micron manufacturing process while the actual chipset is manufactured using a .35 micron process. However, Riva TNT chipsets are supposed to get back to these figures by mid 99 by using the .25 micron manufacturing process.
