[The_Brasilian]

Hi there

I hope someone shows me the way...
Thank you

Gainward ($170) and Hercules($197) from newegg.com have the best cooling. I've been looking into one that overclocks the best and these are on top. There are other exotic models with faster then 4ns memory, but are more expensive. As far as mainstream go these are great. You can't really go wrong with any good brand. Just don't buy eVGA.

If I buy a Ti200, I'll buy Gainward. I've seen results of 510Mhz+ memory and 235Mhz+ core. These are more then adequate. All I want is 500Mhz memory and 200Mhz core and I'm sure I can get these with any Gainward card. I don't like to run the card at max cause my last one died on me after a few days.

As camaro mentioned...both Gainward and hercules cards are nice.

There is also the PNY (159) which has very good stock cooling and has benn at the top of the test in the last couple weeks. I should have one on my doorstep friday.

Lord Sech-
I'm using a PNY right now and it's working great, however, it doesn't post it's bios on boot like all other cards I've had. I'm curious to know if your's does the same?

Phecky,

I have the Asus Geforce3 Ti200, and mine also does not show details on boot up, like my GTS used to do, dunno why this is, and I'd also like to know. :D

I dont personally have the card.... A friend does and i will be ordering one tonight. I havent heard of this problem although ut sounds like it may be a driver issue?

Ive been using a starforce 822-GE force3 and it overclocks wonderfully. Has a nice fat heatsink/fan too.

[Lord Sech]

Actually i take back my earlier post...last night I ordered a PNY Gf3 ti200 from newegg. I should have by thursday or friday if the holiday shipping doesnt mess it up.

I used Ray Adams Nvidia Bios editor to read my current bios and it appears to be a default factory Nvidia bios. I haven't gone so far as flashing cause I need to- get further instructions, get the flash program, and get more balls!

Ultima:
I sent e-mail to PNY tech support about no video bios post and they apparently didn't understand that the card works fine except for the bios display. They told me to replace card if it doesn't work correctly!! Gee, thanks for the insight!

I have excelllent results with the Asus V8200 TI200 Deluxe, and altough it's more expensive than the other cards, you get quite a nice software bundle and the VR glasses...


And for overclocking.... Well I'm not into that, but I read some reviews (Got Apex website) that says that the Asus overclocks wonderfully.

Inno3d Gf3 Ti200 at $159 is nice. It has great stock cooling. Look below to see what I have it clocked at.

Ok I guess sig's won't work, so here it is..

i would highly recommend the ATIradeon 8500 as much better then the g3 u can read in this site about a test for afew g3 cards and the ATI radeon

http://www.tomshardware.com

overall its a good hardware site

[LostBok]

It's definitely the ASUS (v8200 ti200 Deluxe) for me as I use all the SVHS and composite IN & OUT connectors and its a great card...

It's right up there for speed, but if you're looking for a purely games card then the Gainward/CardEx or the Hercules are all great bits of hardware and generally a fraction faster and more overclockable that the ASUS... look at Tomshardware for some independant reviews...

laters!
