Geforce3 ti500

[caLLous]

hmm, i'm looking at the 64Mb Asus V8200 GeForce 3 Ti500 Deluxe Retail... and i'm thinking "i wonder if any of that bw lot have had any experience with this card or any others". so i thought i would pop along here and have a gander at some opinions of yours. i want a geforce3 ti500 (just because)... you peeps have any recommendations?

Probably one of the most powerfulist cards on the PLANET!!! Expensive, but if you want to push 200FPS then this is the baby

just bear in mind that fps IS cpu dependant.i have a gf3 200 ti and it didnt improve the actual TOP speed of my fps on q3 ,tho it did at higher resolutions.my old card was a gf2mx 32mb and my processor is a p3 1000mhz.
ie my q3 now runs at 1024-768 at the same speed it used to run at 800-600.
oh and it looks bloody awesome

i have a pIII 800 w/ 512mb ram and a geforce 2 gts atm. this would be step one of my Ingenious Upgrading Masterplan (TM), followed by an abit kr7a-raid, 512mb or 1gb of 2100 ddr and an athlon xp 2000 or 2100...

i've been reading reviews pretty much solidly for the last hour, and the asus looks like a sweet card, especially as it means i wouldn't have to splash out on a new tv card...

if you're looking for 'bang for your buck' and overall fps/image quality improvement I'd buy the new mobo/cpu/ram first - I don't know if you've been reading the news recently but there's a few things going on nVidia wise and quite soon the Ti500 won't look so appealing

Why's that then?
