Hardware Mania has put up a review on the Asus V8460Ultra graphics card

GeForce256 was again followed by better models like GeForce2GTS/Ultra but we had to wait to see a brand new product until the 27th of February, 2001. It was then the GeForce 3 series was released. After a year, on the 6th of February NVIDIA has announced their new GPU, called GeForce4 and the graphic cards using this new core had flooded the market.
