I think that Unreal looks great on my SLI system, I wish someone would
define shit. Sli looks quite good on about any game I have played. I
have been unable to see much difference between 32bit and 16bit in any
games I have tried that support it (MSCFS and Jane's WWII fighters)
except that in 32bit the game will run nice and slow. I completely agree
that the TNT does a better job at 16bit dithering than the Voodoo, but
to say that V2 SLI looks like shit is really absurd and completely ruins
the credibility of anyone who would spout such bullshit. If the TNT was
up to par in high res 2D I would have bought one rather than V2 SLI and
G200, but sadly the TNTs 2D (which does not look like shit) just can't
compare to the G200 when it comes to image editing applications. I will
say I would like to get rid of my V2s because they are hot as shit and
take up two PCI slots, but they certainly don't look like shit, that is
silly.
