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:
