Help deciding on a GeForce 2 PRO Version

[jklesel]

there seem to be a lot of different versions made by motherboard manufacturers. i was wondering, is there any difference between them? i was looking at this version of the PRO by Velo City. Do any of you experts on this have any info on this card. oh and i dont plan on overclocking. thanks for you help in advance.

This looks like a good buy. However, I've never heard of this company. I purchased my Gainward G2 Pro450 (same 4.5ns ram) for around $130. I then added RAM-sinks for about $15 (red to match the card) and might add a Orb (red) to match the card, $15. This added up to around $160, you can get the samething with the Orb for less than $100. That's a good buy.

However, I would look at getting a card that supports Dx8. I believe the G2 ti200 will utilize Dx8.

The GF2 TI200 has nearly identical performance to the Pro, (actually minutely higher) and currently is 11 bucks more. No brainer.

I think the ti200 would just equal the gainward geforce 2 pro...it is extremely overcockable...hell that is what it is marketed for...

Unless you are willing to spend 40-50 more to jump to the low end gf3 ti200 get the gainward GF2 pro /450...golden sample that is....

default clock 200/400
experttool's enhanced 220/444
I run 225/450...never seen an artifact even after several hours...

This card can go much higher as I have played around and hit 230/460...no artifacts

The Ti200 has DX 8 optimisations however, which the Pro doesnt. What does this mean in 'real terms'?
