Editorial Reviews :
Visiontek's GeForce3 is the ultimate graphics-processing unit. With new methods of transferring information more efficiently, like its nfiniteFX engine and Lightspeed Memory Architecture, the GeForce3 produces never-before-seen, stunningly realistic graphics in real time.
You'll experience a virtually infinite number of special effects, including personality traits and emotions, realistic materials and surfaces, and more. Advanced pixel shaders alter lighting and surface effects and replace those artificial, computerized looks with high-impact true-to-life surfaces.
The GeForce3 graphics card ensures compatibility with the next generation of 3D applications and supports DirectX 8.0 features. It also features a TV-out and video jack, which allows the option of big-screen gaming, digital timeshifting VCR, and video-editing applications.
The GeForce3 is the ultimate 2D/3D solution for every computer user.
Buyer Reviews :
Familiar question? NVidia makes great chips but they definitely make it confusing when it comes to deciding which card to buy. First is a Geforce, then a Geforce2, oh wait, here's this MX version, now a Pro version... oh I see an Ultra version. Oh man, now a Geforce3, now a TI200 and TI500. Are they deliberately trying to confuse us?
To sort through the confusion I went to the 3DMark website. As of the time of this writing, the results stand as follows (from fastest to slowest):
1. ATI Radeon 8500
2. NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 500
3. NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 200
4. NVIDIA GeForce3
5. ATI Radeon 7500
6. NVIDIA GeForce2 Ultra
7. NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS/Pro
Any of these cards will run anything currently out without breaking a sweat. In fact, as many reviewers have pointed out, many of the features available in the Geforce 3 and Radeon cards haven't even been incorporated into games (yet). Compare prices and determine which on the list is within your price range. As of the time of this writing, the GF3ti200 is offered for much cheaper than the original GF3, yet the ti200 is a faster card.
Regarding the Radeon vs. Geforce debate, it's nice to see healthy competition or else NVidia would be selling their cards for much more $$ I'm sure. That said, I'm very unhappy with ATI's unstable drivers and poor tech support. Keep that in mind when deciding on a card.
Hope this helps you in your decision.
