Conclusions
The
performance of the Impact 4 is nothing short of impressive. You'd need a
really good GeForce 2 Ultra card to get better core performance as we saw
with the similar core overclocks of the Leadtek and X-Micro cards. We can
see the reason why better memory performance is desirable to gamers with
the improved benchmarks of the Impact 4.
If
you are in the market for a GeForce2 based card I highly recommend you consider
the X-Micro Impact 4 Pro. For a very reasonable price you get a great performer
with the ability to stay in your gaming rig for some time to come. In everyday
use I enjoyed its performance and stability. I have to point out that the
better memory made the Impact 4 much more stable than any of the GTS cards
I've tested. Throw in the TV-OUT and you have a card that is more useful
than a lot of the more basic gaming cards out there.
