RIVA TNT2 Announced

RIVA TNT2 Announced hits the March 1999 news desk on March 15, 1999. NVIDIA, revealed the RIVA TNT2 3D processor, the fastest 3D graphics processor for the mainstream market.

This new offering from NVIDIA sets a new standard for performance and quality by combining best-of-class 3D and 2D performance with 32-bit true color rendering, 32-bit Z-buffer and a 32MB frame buffer. The TwiN Texel Architecture with per-pixel mip-mapping precision combined with the TNT2's unprecedented fill rate of up to 350 million pixels-per-second, which is twice the nearest competitor. That is the PC hardware treadmill in full sprint: faster chips, cheaper boards, louder claims, and gamers trying to figure out what is worth the money.
