What more does it offer to you than its predecessor, the TNT and what is an Ultra-TNT 2 really?

As you can see, this list of features is just amazing! The TNT2 is really a next-generation chip that has a full list of high advanced 3D-features which will be used in todays and tomorrows games.
Another impressive table is the maximum '2D display modes' that this Ultra-TNT2 can pull. The TNT2 can give you a very high and crisp resolution, thanks to its 300Mhz RAMDAC. Even on high resolutions, for example 1600x1200, the screen is still flicker-free!
Just take a look at the following table and if you have a large monitor (+17inch) you'll be very pleased.

So, we all agree. The Ultra-TNT2 chip can handle very high resolutions with a flicker-free screen. To obtain a flicker-free screen, you must have a frequency of 75Mhz or more.
Like I already mentioned, if you do have a large monitor or you'll buy one soon, the Xentor 32 won't let you down if it comes to a crystal clear 2d image output @ very high resolutions!
