The Asus only managed an average of 84.65 frames per second while the other cards are either very close to a hundred or above it.

CARDEXpert GeForce3 PowerPack !!! ( Reported by CHIP, August 2001)
With a fiery red printed circuit board, few could actually miss the latest addition to the Gainward CARDEXpert series. Power by NVIDIA GeForce 3 GPU at 2.0 billion texels per second 3D performance is taken to a greater heights. During benchmark tests, the CARDEXpert gave expected results. The CARDEXpert GeForce3 sports a nifty utility called XPERTool. This utility allows easy tweaks to the graphics card. Definitely a plus for all overclockers out there. The software packaged together with the card are Adobe Active share, some trial video software from Cyber-Link, Interview Winded 2000, Lead Video Studio 5.0, Darken: Order of the Flame and Rollcage.

Elsa Gladiac 920 ( Reported by CHIP, August 2001)
The Elsa Gladiac 920 is a good card meeting criterion that was set by CHIP. It's 6 years warranty is the most generous of all the company. The shortcoming od the Elsa Gladiac 920 is in its equipment. There is a S-video output for TV connection but there is no DVI output and it does not come with a strong software bundle. Despite the scanty software, ELSA is the only card in this round-up that includes a game that takes full advantage of the GeForce 3 chipset programmable Vertex and Pixelshader which Microsoft's DirecX 8.0 supports. The card's gaming performance during benchmark testing delivered good frames rates as good as the other GeForce3 cards.
