The Power Color SNiper M64 came with a very
tiny heatsink on its TNT2 M64 chip. The heatsink is so small I couldn't even
screw a fan onto it. To cool the card during the overclock testing, I aimed a
couple of Radio Shack blower fans at the card.
Installation is straight forward. Open your
case, insert card, turn on computer and wait for Windows to ask you for the
drivers. However Windows never asked me for the drivers when I rebooted with the
SNiper. This was because the card I had in the comp before was a Viper TNT2
Ultra and the NVIDIA 2.08 reference driver I was using will work with the
SNiper. When I looked at the display properties I notice that the name of the
card changed from NVIDIA TNT2 to NVIDIA TNT2 Model 64
