Radeon 8500, GeForce3 TI500 - TI200? Which one?

acgreen · 01-16-2002, 10:56 AM

I'm probably going to be getting a new video card pretty soon. I've limited it down to these three, since there aren't any better ones. I'm replacing my GeForce2 GTS 32meg DDR card. Which one should I get?

Also, anyone want to buy a perfectly fine GeForce2 GTS with all original boxing and software?

Thanks,

AC

Get a Geforce 3 TI200, it's got the best price/performance ratio out of any video card. It's also very overclockable.

ATI still has issues with poor drivers, whereas NVidia's are usually excellent, the 23.11's being the exception.

Alright. What is the best Ti200? The XTasy?

However, a little known thing about ATI Drivers. There are some drivers called LightSpeed drivers for the ATI cards that are equivalent to the Detonator drivers for the Geforce... www.rageunderground.com has all the goods on them.

So if any of you have an ATI card with their standard crappy drivers, get lightspeed drivers.

Buy a radeon! Geforce 3 may be good now, but soon you will not be able to upgrade it any higher because they have pushed it to the limit.

Radeon is a new card and have plenty of updates, this card will live longer then GF3!

FUCK gf3
buy the Radeon 8500 or wait a few month more and there should be a new Radeon out on the market!!!

Readeon havent got as new drivers as GF3! thats why GF3 might seem a little faster!
