ASUS AGP V-3800 TNT2 review
Posted by Julio Franco on May 7, 1999 - Page 2/6

Features
The card 3D Spotlight received for the review has got the TV-Out and Video-In features, ASUS also included their stereoscopic Virtual Reality 3D Glasses in the box. The only thing I didn't receive was the software bundle, the retail version of the card will come with the Full Version of Heretic 2.

Here are some general specs for the TNT2 chip and the V-3800:
