The Viper V770

Nvidia's TNT proved to the world that 3D was no longer the sole domain of 3dfx. TNT offered performance approaching that of Voodoo2, with features not-yet available even on 3dfx's new Voodoo3 processor. Diamond has done quite well with their own TNT offering, the Viper V550, and it's only natural that they follow up with Nvidia's newest chipset, the TNT2, christened on a Diamond board as the Viper V770.
