3D Power is a relative newcomer to the graphics scene, though many that comprise 3D Power are ex-3dfx veterans from the ill-fated companys European wing. In partnership with Korean board manufacturing company Absolute Multimedia, comes the genesis of the Morpheus range of graphics cards Made by Gamers, for Gamers, or so the slogan goes.
3D Power cards have attained a cult status among the gaming community, much like the Titan 3, and for good reason. Superseded in this Labs by cards sporting the newer Ti 500 GPU, the Morpheus does not particularly stand out, although for a stock GeForce3 at stock clock speeds it is arguably one of the fastest in its class.
Against the only other standard GeForce3 in the Labs, the Elsa Gladiac 920, the Morpheus comes up trumps in all the benchmark results, with strong results in both Quake III: Arena and 3DMark2001 Pro, though only by the barest of margins. It falls in close behind the higher clocked Titan 3, the Ti 500s and, in most cases, the Radeon 8500 models. It is uniquely packaged in a wooden box, comes with TV-out and a software bundle including two top game titles: No One Lives Forever and MDK2.
