IIRC TVR designates an ASUS card with VIVO (Video In Video Out) functionality. Basically it doubles as a capture card for watching TVs shows and what not. NVIDIA VIVO cards are generally harder to find and actually slightly more desirable, they rarely deviate performance wise where as ATI cards with VIVO from the same era were usually cut down slightly.

If memory serves N just designates its a middle of the road, consumer card. PURE branded cards were premium enthusiast targeted cards. If anything what you have would be the standard card at standard frequencies. If memory serves U in an ASUS card means its AGP.

Also greetings fellow non-Chicago IL resident!

"Pure" on those old Asus cards means VGA out only, no 3D glasses, not TV in/out.

Asus:

Pure = basic features
Deluxe = premium features.

"TVR" is PCB identification. It may come as VGA (Pure), TV-Out only, VIVO or VIVO + 3D Stereo jack (Deluxe).

Also on a Geforce2 Deluxe how would I decipher the model # V7700Deluxe/N/32M/U?

"N" stands for NTSC signal. Not sure about "U", may be Ultra, but I don't know if GeForce 2 Ultra with 32 Mb of memory was a thing.

That you all from the replies. That helps a lot!

TheAbandonwareGuy, I see you are from Carbondale. I’ve spent some time down there. I’m a couple hours north of ya. I feel it’s important to specify that being from IL doesn’t mean Chicago like most think 🤣.
