All usual references in the 'Net say that RIVA cards have below average 2D quality but I haven't tried myself. I'm planning to buy new graphics card in the near future, but can't decide which one, G400 with 32MB or some TNT2 Ultra. Ultimately I don't want new card which 2D quality is weaker than my current G200.
