Hello Friends, in my contribution to #GPUJune2 I took a closer look on the XGI Volari V3, its Trident history , and - of course - compare it with the budget cards of the marked leaders Nvidia and ATI.
All cards were released in 2003 and were the lowest end cards you could get from these companys.

For background music I chose tunes from Unreal.

14:54 Outro

I hope you like it!
