What I don't understand is that the TNT2 is just a faster TNT with AGP 4x
and more memory etc. Does it have new 3d features like hardware bump
mapping, enviroment mapping, full screen anti aliasing, texture compression,
etc.? The TNT-2 will probably be the fastest by 10% or so. I definitely do
not think it is a next generation card, but a faster current generation
card.

My previous point was that the cards haven't even been shipped yet but
because of Tom a vaporware card is already name the king of 3d. You even say
the words yourself. That is just BS...at least for a few months. Personally,
I rather have a card that is 10-25% slower than the TNT-2 but have cool new
3d features.
