Do any of you have any info on this card pro or con? It's $350 delivered (Newegg).

I like the heatsink arrangement and the color.)
 
My freind just bought it and hes said its a great card, he returned his herc 3dp3 for it, he says its a much better card.
 
Go to Riva Station. They have a 7 card review of the GF3. Most of these cards all have some type of flaw and none of them really stand out to me besides the Hercules. Most cards have terrible TV in/out because of the Phillips chip, including Gainward. If you are going to use in/out, I'd go for the CX TV out chip.
 
It's probably the lowest-priced GF3 (last time i checked, twas $344 at www.ucdweb.com). Since all GF3 are almost the same anyways, you'd surely be ok buying the Gainward GF3. PLUS, they assure you that thier cards are of the "golden sample" variety, which in Gainward's context is a card which has some ASSURED overclocking potential. As to how much this guaranteed overclock is, i think it was 220/480. As i've read, you can even return the card to Gainward for an exchange if you CardExpert 3 doesn't do their assured overclock 🙂

Regards
