Sorry dude...moving to tech dept!! :)

if you choose between the Ti 200 or Ti 500 (Geforce 3) Then I would suggest the 500, because that one has 128 MB Ram en the speed is much faster.

If you have money to spend get a wildcat 6210 !

Are you sure about the TI 500 having 128mb's of ram? I'm sure all GeForce 3's come with no more than 64mb's.

If you're looking for a card for Maya around the same price range look at the PNY Quadro4 550 XGL. Can be had for about $230. Certified to work with Maya.

yep, I saw one from Creative, It had 128 MB. I wanted to order it but they do not order geforce 3 here anymore, everything is Geforce 4 - Assho@#@..... :)

I was not happy !!.... SO i bought the Geforce 3 Ti 200 (64 MB), also an excellent card. Now my image plane move much.. mucchchcch faster then the Riva TNT (16) card !! :)

Never seen that before. Certainly now i don't see any 128mb versions around.

Protheus 18-09-2002 10:37 PM

weird, because just a couple of day's ago I saw a 128 MB version of the Geforce 3 Ti 200 !

mrmacca 18-09-2002 11:28 PM

if you do a search at pricewatch.com for TI 500 not one comes up with 128mb's ,not saying there isn't though, just not very common.

Protheus 19-09-2002 10:28 AM

yeah I know and I was to stupid to buy it straight away... the price was 189 Euro.

And now I can't find it anywhere !

Theres a 128MB Geforce ti 500 here for £125 - its a B grade item though

Geforce 3 ti500 128MB - B Grade

They also stock them normally for £170

Geforce 3 ti500 128MB

Protheus 21-09-2002 02:11 PM

what is B-grade !!

Protheus 21-09-2002 02:14 PM

and 170 pounds is alot of money, The one I saw was aslo from Gainward but costed: 119 pound !!!!

Lemmy 21-09-2002 03:18 PM

yes £170 ponds ia fair amount but compared to other 128mb cards on the market and also geforce 3 ti 500's when they came out it seems like a good deal. although i dont know about how good the quality of gainward cards is.

Protheus 21-09-2002 04:16 PM

gainward are excellent card to overclock ! yeah but the geforce 4 is sin, so I hope the price will lower for the geforce 3

badbunny 21-09-2002 08:37 PM

I wouldn't even consider a geforce3 ti 500 though.
Since that radeon 9700 came out the geforce4 prices have nose-dived. You can pick up a 128MB Geforce4 ti 4600 (top of range card) for a mere £188 from Dabs.com
