The 3D Prophet II GTS Pro has a small but sufficient bundle. It comes with PowerDVD DVD playback software, the ever so useless and common 3Deep, a poorly-named overclocking and 3D settings application called 3D Tweaker, and a few game demos. We like the inclusion of PowerDVD and the 3D Tweaker application (despite its druggy name), is useful for the less technically apt overclocker. At the same time, we would like to see an optional game bundle along the lines of what ELSA provides.

At $399, the 3D Prophet II GTS Pro costs about $175 more than the least expensive GeForce2 GTS 32MB cards. For $120 more than the least expensive 64MB GeForce2 GTS and $100 less than a GeForce2 Ultra, you get a card that performs about half-way between these two types of cards. We figure that, if you're going to spend $400 for a card, you may as well spend $500 and get the ultimate in performance. If you cannot afford an Ultra and want something better than a GeForce2 GTS, the 3D Prophet II GTS Pro provides it, but you don't get great bang for the buck. In the end, the only way we would buy a Pro over an Ultra is if we were divinely sure that our card would overclock a good 10%.
