That'll be because the Creative Annihilator Pro is a bunch of crap.
Take a look at http://www.sharkyextreme.com they did a comparison a little while ago. It's just a shame they didn't have the Guillimot 3D Prophet DDR there, I have both Guillimot Cards and there's hardly any difference between the SDR & DDR versions, unless you use 4X AGP (I'm currently testing the DDR version with an Intel VC820 board using 128MB RDIMM's)
In my opinion the Guillimot card is one of the best Ge-Force 256's, it's got TV out 2 and some cool nVidia demo's.
I'll sell you one for £199.99

I didnt get the DDR guillemot becuz i dont neef the extra features...
tell me whats up with the creative DDR's?
Mine was like 165 anyway so i aint complaining... as far as i gather its as fast as the guillemot with non creative drivers cuz they are fuckin shite.

I think the Creative ones the best to go with. The Gulletmore one is far to expensive just for those extra features.
You can't just realy on on set of benchmarks.
so its a Creative DDR

I agree... i mean, daveheart says he can get creative for 160... so why pay 40 quid more for tv out? He could always overclock it and then it'll be even faster still than the guillemot

/ms wasn't talking about Benchmarks. More "real work experience" really.
Creative have alway's sucked in the GFX board market, there usually made for simple people who can only just fit a graphics board to start with.
Th Guillimot 256 is the best as far as I know, although the Asus one looks good.
I'll get some UT/Q3A/Q2 timedemos later in the week and stick 'em up

/me rolls around laughing and points at km's shop
imho, geforces are not entirly worth the money - im getting 74.4fps (tweaked) out of a celery 366 at 550, with everything on im gettin 39fps, not too bad, thats with a tnt2 ultra board - i personally dont think its worth me upgrading to geforce yet, not enough performance gain
Personally, the sort of gain i loook for before i upgrade is the sort of difference from going from a vooodoo 1 to voodoo 2 card
tnt2u>geforce isnt worth it
geforce is nearly 200, tnt2u you can pick up for under 100
not really worth it just yet - when prices come down a bit more then maybe a better bet
btw tug, 165 is still a bit OTT for trade price, i pick em up at 140 for the ddrs (mind you i usually get a deal for buying >20, is your price just a single order?)
