Since the AGP-V3400TNT is based on nVidia's TNT reference design for the most part, installation was simple and straightforward. The drivers for the card are a few weeks older than the newest reference editions available from nVidia. ASUS has been very good at updating and keeping their various product drivers current at both their US website and their Taiwanese site, and we would expect that this would continue with the AGP-V3400TNT.
After rebooting into Win95 OSR 2.1 for the first time, the ASUS card was detected properly and the drivers loaded from the included CD quickly. ASUS includes the standard nVidia control panel for the TNT with the AGP-V3400TNT except for a few notable exceptions.
Here's a list of the exact variables for Direct3D and OpenGL manipulation that the ASUS display properties applet provides:
Direct3D Feature Settings
