Geforce2Ti200 looks like a complete waste. It's basically a PRO, which I own. Must be a marketing gimmick. The original Geforce3 looks like a good buy soon. It's only a little slower then 500Ti, and it should drop in price significantly now.

I ran the wolfenstein demo and it ran fine the first time. I adjusted the settings in the game itself and now I get huge artifacts. I though I just adjusted the resolution and color. Anyone who runs them successfully please post all your settings.

The GeForce2 Pro required an AGP Pro slot, right? Do any of these new Titanium cards require it?

No the fact it's a GF2 PRO has nothing to do with the Slot.

AGP PRO slots are for High-end GL cards like FireGL and Wildcats...they can provide upto 110W:D Standard AGP slots only provide 25W. I'd say that the main advantage of the GF2 Ti is price. The cores cheaper and easily runs at the 250mhz. It should end-up cheaper than a GF2 PRO given time.

They said they are not going to be making any other cores other then Titanium cores. So the drop in prices will only be good untill the retailers run out.

That Radeon 7500 kinda bombed out. Looks like low and mid end market will belong to nvidia.

But ATI has the 8500 priced at $250. Just like the Geforce3Ti200. Since it is on par with Geforce3Ti500(at least that's what I expect). This could be a good seller.

So highend would go to ATI and rest to Nvidia upon my speculation. :cool:

Glad to see prices are finally coming down on new video cards. No more of those $500 price tags we had last year on top items. It could be the market though. Tech stocks are still coming down.
