7. Asus AGP-V3800 Ultra Deluxe - Supplied Software

Compared with 3dfx, Asus has designed its front end software as a video recorder and not as a remote control. At first glance, the symbols seem a little misleading, but after a short time the user learns the meaning of the various buttons.

The choice of video formats isn't exactly overwhelming. The only format that offers real-time compression is the proprietary ASV1. This proprietary Asus format restricts the possible fields of use because videos saved in ASV1 format can't be played back on any PC. To do this you need a commonplace standard format such as MPEG.
