Ti200 is the slowest, the GF3 is in the middle, and the Ti500 is the fastest. Deluxe is probably just a model name to a card.

"Deluxe" is simply a model name of a manufacturers version of the GF3. Asus uses the "Deluxe" naming to signify parts that come with All In Wonder like features.

GF3 Ti200- the slowest GF3.
175MHz core clock---- 200/400MHz DDR SDRAM memory clock.

GF3- The "Classic" original GF3 as released half a year ago.
200MHz core clock---- 230/460MHz DDR SDRAM memory clock.

GF3 Ti500- The fastest of the GF3 series of cards.
240MHz core clock---- 250/500MHz DDR SDRAM memory clock.

so is it better to get the Classic GF3 instead of the Ti200??

 

[CtK]

a better question...
will i see a significant difference from the GF2 GTS to the GF3Ti200??

The GF3 Ti200 is definitely faster than the GF2 GTS. Also, many GF3 Ti200 cards can be overclocked to full or near the performance levels of regular GF3 cards.

so getting the gainward GF3 Ti200 form newegg for $175 shipped is a good deal??

I think so! Since the "price gap" between them is almost $ 60! (with regular GeF3)
GeForce3 Ti200 Pwr pack GS = $ 170 => 4 ns memory, TV Out only
GeForce3 (regular) = $ 229 => TV Out, DVI
Ge Force3 Power Pack GS = $ 259 => TV Out, DVI, VIVO
Ge Force3 Ti500 Pwr Pack GS = $ 305 => 3.8 ns memory, TV Out, DVI
The performance after "overclocking" is about 90% of reg GeF3.
But there's a question, why after Ti series, the "classic" series is still expensive (down slowly)
May be there's something about reliability or stability issues?

GeForce based card is for gaming purpose, a friend of mine uses GeF2 GTS and has some problem when working on 2D/3D program such as AutoCAD2000 and 3DS Max 4.0.
Somebody told him that working on CAD and 3DS Max is better while using Quadro based, but Quadro or Quadro2 is more more expensive than GeForce based card.

I use those drawing and modeling programs too, and was just wondering what the difference is between Quadra cards and Geforce cards? Is it worth the extra money for Quadra?

 

[swifty3]

Sorry, "Quadro"
