Comments

When I first plugged this card in, my computer thought it was the Diamond Stealth II G460. Both use the same 3D chipset, but they look completely different. Nevertheless, the benchmark performance of the two cards was identical in all the tests done. I didn’t repeat the Quake test and some of the resolution tests as I was limited in time, and it seemed the results would be identical. I did remove the Diamond Stealth driver, and started all over by installing the ASUS driver, and achieved the identical benchmark results. The ASUS graphics card utility programs were the best of the bunch, and worth using this card rather than the Diamond if your price is similar.
