    Gainward GF3 Ti200 Golden Sample?

    << Tstanev said : Funny though, my Quadro 2 Pro at work can go up to 1920x1440 on a wimpy 19" NEC monitor and it still looks good. Don't you realize that Quadro2 Pro is "better" than GeForce3! (and has more expensive price too!) GeForce based card is only for 3D gaming purpose, as many ads...

    Gainward GF3 Ti200 clockspeeds

    My Gainward (Gold sample) runs stable at 240/500. Default is 175/400 IIRC. I usually have it at 220/450 unless I'm running 3DMark or something.

    Gainward GF3 Ti200 Golden Sample?

    << What do you think of the card's 2D image quality? I'm especially interested in 2D at 1600x1200, 32Bits. Thanks! >> The image is very sharp on my 21" Trinitron, but it maxes out at 75Hz which my eyes don't really like, because I see the flicker up till 85Hz or so. Other people don't notice...

    Gainward GF3 Ti200 Golden Sample?

    << Workin' and tstanev What kind of problems did you have, and how did you fix them? My ti200/450 from newegg will come tommorrow. I am currently running win98se, will I have any problems? I have winXP but have not installed it yet, what do I need to be aware of? >> It was a driver issue...

    Gainward GF3 Ti200 Golden Sample?

    << I'm running a Gainward GF3 Ti200/450 Golden Sample from Newegg right now. Under WinXP on my VIA mobo, too. Kind of sucked to get it running right, but it's OK now. Blazing fast little beastie, I have mine overclocked to 240/500 as if it was a GF3 Ti500. Haven't tried to go higher, gotta...

    Best nVidia chip for CAD.

    << So, for argument's sake, which would be better for an application like SolidWorks, a Quadro2 Pro or a QuadroDCC?? Elsa's site only says that the Gloria DCC (=QuadroDCC) is optomized for 3D Studio Max.... But makes absolutely no mention of any other proffessional level CAD application. In...

    Best nVidia chip for CAD.

    << Sorry if my question is a litle out of the subject. Is there a 3D redering aplication (like 3Dstudio MAX ,Maya ,etc.) that uses on redering (and not only for the viewport) any of nVidia's GPU. And if there is, what is the magic compination (aplication-GPU). Thanks in advance. >> I'm not...

    Stupid Video Problems with my rig.

    I just built a new machine and had the same problem. Nothing that uses DirectX worked. I had to do a clean reinstall of WinXP with the latest Detonator drivers to get it to work.

    Your 3DMark2001 score (version 2)

    << Athlon 1600+ GF3 Ti200 Running at 220/450 I got 7249. I can probably do better if I jack up the MHz on the card and on the CPU >> OK, replying to myself to say that I got 8226 on the same setup, with some conservative overclocking (240/500 and 150 FSB). It is still pretty stable so it...

    Best nVidia chip for CAD.

    I work for Autodesk and have a Quadro 2 Pro in my work machine. Can't complain. My home machine has a GF3 and is much faster on 3DMark than my work machine, but the Quadro2Pro is pretty good for high polygon count scenes, which is what most of CAD uses. I would still go for a GF3 instead, since...

    Random Lockups with new Leadtek Winfast Ti500 Card

    I just put together a similar machine (Gainward Ti200 though) and anything that uses DirectX was crashing it. I had to do a clean reinstall of XP and install detonator 23.10. It did not work with 21.83.

    WinXP + GF3 + UT = Trouble

    << << << It has to be the Gainward! What a piece of crap. >> I wouldn't say that - I have the same problem with a Leadtek card and with a Visiontek card. It has to be the drivers - all this stuff works perfectly for me under Windows 2000. Tomorrow I'm going to reinstall XP, and the only...

    WinXP + GF3 + UT = Trouble

    << I am running UT on Win XP Pro machine with no problems at all.. Epox 8HKA+, 512M Crucial, XP1600+@1585Mhz, Visiontek Ti 200 @230/540, latest Det. 23.10. UT at 1600x1200 is a beauty! :) I would go back to the Win XP Via drivers and also test different settings in the bios (t.e., disable...
