G450 eTV Reviewed
In this month's PCFormat. It gets 84%:
'3D Graphics accelerator or video recorder? The eTV boldy has a bash at both.'
Good:
Video Input
Video Editing
Timeshifting
Good Price
Bad:
Average Games Performance
They say that it's not going to make the 'average hardcore tweaker sprint down to his nearest computer store and buy the card', but they like it otherwise. They reckon gaming performance is 'on par with something like a Voodoo 5500, so while a Geforce Ultra would leave in the dust, it can cope admirably with most games. Basically, it's a very effective compromise.'
Then they go on to review 3dfx' latest card (I thought they went bye-bye ??) which is a TV card. They like it too, but they mention more than once that the G450 eTV's timeshifting is cool and this card doesn't have it.
(They also call the eTV a 'Marvel G450' more than once...
)
