Both are good cards, although as I write this the Radeon 7500 is $119 and the Geforce2 Ti500 is $129 at Newegg. All I can say is the Gainward card ROCKS!!!! I just got one, it is running 280/525 like a champ. My 3Dmark score increased 38% from 3950 to 5433. I had two Geforce2 Pros before this, the last one was at 215/468. I was AGP bus limited to a fsb of 150MHz and could not use fastwrites with either. The latest 23.11 driver had FSAA issues with one of my favorite games Janes WW2 Fighters. Not anymore, fastwrites is on, my fsb is 167MHz rock solid, and the Ti 500 did not like my favorite 8.03 Detonator. I am using the 23.11 now, the older drivers recognized the Bios as a Geforce GTS, but the newer ones give you a Geforce2 Ti 500. The 23.11 still has a FSAA issue with Janes, but who needs FSAA anymore? I put this baby on 1600 x 1200 x 32 and it averaged 35fps and ran smoothly with no jerkiness or slow downs. I was going to get the MSI Geforce Ti200 for $157, but it was not in stock, so I grabbed the Gainward instead, and it is fast enough for me.
