It was the first DX9 card designed by nVidia and 3DFX when merged. It had a better feature set than the 9700PRO which failed to outperform due to it's design flaw, most of it's transistors were spent on DX8 than on DX9 and it's biggest problema was the register pressure, which made the chip incredible inefficient for pixel shader calculations, relying it's performance on heavy and costly driver optimizations, it was the worst GPU ever created
