I am in the process of buidling a new system and now need to order the video card. The machine is strictly for games and lan parties. I was dead set on ordering a Ti500 but after seeing anand's latest review with the 8500, I was paying particular attention to the differences between GF3 and Ti500. The differences didn't seem that noticable and the price I am looking at for Ti500 is the 300-330 range. Haven't priced GF3 at all yet but wanted to get some opinions as to what you all thought. Input is apprecieated. Thanks.
