Geforce 3 question

[pimpin_228 0]

OK i am getting a geforce 3 at the end of the month and i was wondering what i need to be prepared for. So far i have heard alot about gf 3's and driver issues and that prett much all i have heard but i just wanna know what i am getting in to

 

plus i was wondering about the ti200, ti500 and the standard gf3

what is the difference between these and if someone could, post a link to a benchmark of the ti200vsti500 because me and eddie couldn't find any benchmarks between them

I have just had a Ti200 with my new pcm and am very pleased with it.

 

The Ti200 is the new entry level Gef3, next one up is the standard gef3, and then you get the creme de la creme Ti500.

 

I did a clean install of Q3 ran it at 1024x768x32 with full everything, vertex lighting, etc and achieved 140.5 fps. This is on a P4 1.6 (Ready built pc).

 

I will do some higher res benchmarks when I get my new monitor

I achieved 5657 on 3dmark2001.

 

I am currently looking for a comparison chart IO read the other day with these 3 gef3's..I'll post it when I find it.

It's worth noting though, over at the Madonion 3DMark2001 site the Ti200 actually features higher up the Hall of Fame than the standard GF3.

I have a geforce 3 ti200 and i love it too. I'm using it on a p3 800 and i get 4600 on 3dmark 2001.

I overclocked it to geforce 3 speeds and got 5000 3dmarks.

Also, don't forget about the Radeon 8500. These baby's can be had for $200 USD with shipping. They are OEM, with the 250/250 core/ram, but mine can get up to the normal 275/275. Want something to compete with the GF3Ti500, only for less? Here ya go. The only really annoying thing about it is the refresh rate is stuck at 60Hz under XP. Then again, it's not like Nvidia got that fixed immediately...

The Ti200 is sorta cheap, but for the value line, it could come down in price a tad.

Gutting, I was really expecting ATI to pull their fingers out with this release.

for sure if you have the money go for the Ti500, it is the best all around video card i have seen for the money.
