In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Riva TNT2 Pro and the Riva TNT2 are equal.
The Riva TNT2 Pro was released less than a year after the Riva TNT2, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
Both GPUs exhibit very poor performance, so rather than upgrading from one to the other you should consider looking at more powerful GPUs. Neither of these will be able to run the latest games in any playable way.
The Riva TNT2 Pro and the Riva TNT2 have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The Riva TNT2 Pro has 0.3 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the Riva TNT2, which means that the memory performance of the Riva TNT2 Pro is marginally better than the Riva TNT2.
Both the Riva TNT2 Pro and the Riva TNT2 have 2 Shader Processing Units. Having the same number of SPUs and using the same architecture means that the performance they offer can be compared by looking at the memory bandwidth, Texture and Pixel Rates. In this case, we sadly do not have enough data in this area to complete the comparison.

| Mini Review | The RIVA TNT2 was a graphics processing unit manufactured by Nvidia starting in early 1999. The chip is codenamed "NV5" because it is the 5th graphics chip design by Nvidia, succeeding the RIVA TNT (NV4). RIVA is an acronym for Real-time Interactive Video and Animation accelerator. The "TNT" suffix refers to the chip's ability to work on two texels at once (TwiN Texel). Nvidia removed RIVA from the name later in the chip's lifetime. | The RIVA TNT2 was a graphics processing unit manufactured by Nvidia starting in early 1999.
