"The VisionTek board itself is based on the standard GeForce3 design - 64MB of 3.8ns DDR SDRAM operating at 230MHz (460MHz DDR), and the GeForce3 GPU operating at 200MHz. One thing I was happy to see put back onto the card was TV-Out, provided by a Conexant BT869 decoder. Many GeForce2's didn't come with TV-Out except those in the higher price bracket, and it's nice to see VisionTek include one despite trying to keep the price down.
The cooling on this card is adequate - the GPU cooler itself is larger than the stock GeForce2 fans were but it still isn't much of a heatsink. Even so, I encountered no heat-related problems during rigorous testing. The two rows of 3.8ns DDR chips are covered by one long heatsink as opposed to individual RAM sinks, which should help spread the heat across the chips more evenly. In my pictures, the fan has an NVIDIA sticker but the actual retail board should have a VisionTek sticker."
