R7500 has 2-nd generation T&L engine like old Radeon or nVidia Geforce and Geforce 2 series. GF3TI200 has 3-rd gen. T&L engine like Radeon 8500 and GF3 of course. In games any gf3ti200 kicks r7500's ass probably. In 2d quality it's usually opposite, it depends heavily on GF3ti200's manufacturer...

What are the earliest drivers that support GF3Ti200 ? Is it possible to use 6.50 or 11.xx or 12.xx drivers ? I have couple of older games that doesn't work with anything newer than 6.50. eckh

You can get 23.11 drivers from nvidia's homepage www.nvidia.com, but I'm not sure those are best, they improved my 3dmark result but significantly downgraded performance in some games. eckh

Have you installed SIS AGP drivers from CD that came with mobo ? If not, this is probably reason. eckh

If 3dfx were still alive I would suggest Voodoo 4 or 5, but now I guess that GF2MX or MX400 is best for this system. Kyro II doesn't have hardware transform and lighting engine IIRC. But anyway most new games require 500+ mhz processor and if you are going to use your sister's computer for...

I whitched from 23.11 drivers that came with my card (Abit Siluro GF3Ti200) to 23.11 detonators and noticed quite big performance drops in the games I play most frequently (mostly racing games). At same time 3dmark gained some 150 extra points with new drivers. Had almost same problem with my...

ASUS has GF3TI200 and TI500 series cards with video in. I guess these were V8200 Deluxe models, also bundled with 3d glasses. eckh

There's shouldn't be any difference. At least I didn't see any when I switched from Leadtek drivers to 23.11 detonators on my GF2Ti. eckh

Radeon 7500 has hardware bump mapping, GF2Ti doesn't. In most of benchmarks R7500 shows better results than GF2Ti due it's higher clocked memory (250 core/460 memory vs 250/400 on GF2Ti IIRC). Basically R7500 is tuned Radeon DDR as Gf2Ti is tuned GF2 Pro. From performance point i guess you...

<< Yeah, more info about this "thing", please. Anybody hwo removed the sinks on the mem? 3d-mark 2001 result? Is teher any DVI? >> From this Link you can find general info about the product. Strange thing, although card has DVI connector, they don't mention it on webpage. But as it's produced...

Try Coolbits or nvmax. here are some links where you may find them: Link Link

<< my creati200 for some very strange reasons :) appear to be stable at 210/550. and appear more strange cause the memory heatsinks aren't attached well to all the chips (the chips in the middle aren't in contact with the hs). @ 575 the card is stable in certain games, but will freeze in...

<< lol! creative went out of the graphic card business! the last card they had out was a geforce2ultra! silly,newbies;) >> look at http://www.europe.creative.com/products/category.asp?lang=1&cate=4 US isn't whole world. silly americans ;)

I can't believe that you can't get this card from Germany. I looked Techdata Intouch Online half of an hour ago and there were 99 pcs of R8500 in stock in Finland. Can't believe they don't have them in Germany also. Try to find local store who has business connections with Techdata and I'm sure...

<< Well if you're content with your Ultra I wouldn't upgrade, as no games(to my knowledge) even use any of the features the Radeon or GeForce3 offer. Wait to upgrade until Unreal2 comes out, then you'll want a better vid card. HTH >> I know couple ofgames that use GF3 features, e-racer for...
