Creative Labs 3D Blaster TNT2 Ultra

Performance

The performance of the Creative Labs 3D Blaster TNT2 Ultra is virtually identical to that of other TNT2 cards out there running at the same clock speed. So instead of publishing the same benchmarks over again, we encourage you to check out the Dynamite TNT2 Ultra Review, our original NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Review, and the latest July 1999 TNT2 Roundup. Just remember that the 3D Blaster TNT2 Ultra is clocked at the NVIDIA recommended default of 150/183 and AnandTech's sample was able to hit 170/220.

Final Words

The Creative Labs card is your run of the mill retail board, it is available at virtually every corner hardware store and carries the Creative Labs name and reliability. Creative's unique drivers that actually support NT are a big plus for NT users and it's one of the faster, but not the fastest, TNT2 Ultra's available. At $229.99, it's the same price as the Hercules TNT2 Ultra, which comes out of the box at 175/200MHz core/memory clock. Unfortunately, the Hercules isn't the easiest card to find right now, but the Creative Labs is everywhere. Throw in the availability of Creative's Unified Drivers for Glide compatibility and the 3D Blaster TNT2 Ultra is a pretty decent choice in the TNT2 Ultra market.
