The card itself is the same size as the original GeForce. Our card features 32MB of 6ns Infineon DDR SDRAM -just fast enough to meet the 166MHz requirements.

The GeForce 2 offers a robust menu system, but we didn't really care for the anti-aliasing slider. Please, be more descriptive.

Enough with the trees

Remember Treemark?

Ah, the NVIDIA demos. As we all know, NVIDIA makes the best demos in the business, and they've really outdone themselves with the new GeForce 2 demos. Note that a few of these demos have been released earlier, but they were meant for the GeForce 2 launch.

Yes, the NVIDIA tree is back, and he's brought friends. Welcome to the NVIDIA Grove. Every single tree has its own set of fireflies. Since treemark only allowed you to add up to eight dynamic lights (the fireflies), people assumed that the GeForce could only do eight lights. NVIDIA wanted to make sure that everyone knows that the GeForce and GeForce 2 can handle far more than eight lights.

Back! Tell me the fill rate before I hurt someone!     The lights! The lights! Next!

 Quick Fact
You can still change the leaves into money in the Grove demo, but only on one tree -the "money tree" so-to-speak.
