GF2 Ultra. No, I didn't pay for it. For those of you know who how much one of these cost right when they came out... Yup, the poor guy paid for it. Currently messing around with MS Money to somehow justify the purchase of Radeon 9700....

GF2GTS-V, running at stock speeds. I don't game beyond low-intensity stuff, so it's fine for my needs. It'll overclock, but it's really not necessary for the stuff I do. For $50 (about 6 months ago) it's a great card.

Thanks to the help of our lovely Hot Deals forum last Thanksgiving... a Visiontek GF3 Ti200... but g'damn that Visiontek fan is a POS!
My Crystal Orb is in the mail and I can go back to overclocking this thing to Ti500 levels again.

Exactly what I have, the trusty Best Buy GF3 Ti200. It is very sad that this card borders on being obsolete less than 10 months after I got it.

Still cruising along with a GF2 Ti 64 meg. Kind of struggles with UT2K3, even at 600x800.
Baby on the way, so it will probably have to do for quite awhile.

i have found a few radeon 8500 cards i am interested in.

would a 64 meg radeon 8500le be better than a geforce 3?
i may buy one today and sell my geforce 3...btw my geforce 3 runs 225/530

le runs 250/240 right?
or for 15$ more i can get a powered by ati card 275/275...built by another brand?

i have a radeon 8500 DDR 64MB retail 275/275 like many others. i love it, but unfortunately, im packing it right this moment into a cardboard box to ship to new york. it crapped out on me, NEVER OVERCLOCKED! well, once, but that was just for testing and it only clocked to 290/290 and then rebooted like 5 min. later, then never overclocked again. so it doesnt really count.

but im sending it in hoping they will repair/replace it since ALL retail radeon 8500s are considered under warranty by them (whether you have proof or purchase or not) because the card is only nearly 2 years old.

love that card....i have one sittin in front of me...waiting for a money order...somebody bought it off of me. Way too big for my new computer....lol.

Man I am gunna miss this Card.

I'll probably miss it too. It's served me well, but it's time has come. I've got my eye on a Leadtek 4400 or 4600. I'm setting up a computer just for gaming(no firewall, anti-virus, or anything else running in the background).

sniff

I hear ya guys, my Voodoo5 5500 is begining to show it's age. I was going to replace it with a Radeon 8500 LE, but all my bros suppliers seem to be sold out. Right now I'm waiting for the 9500 to come out and see what it's going to cost before deciding on a new vidcard.

I have a radeon 8500 le in my wifes puter....but her computer is 1300 mhz slower than mine...and she wont let me put it in my computer to test it....

I can sell my g3 for 75$ prolly and can get a 275/275 radeon for 90$shipped powered by ati ...is it worth it?

I'm still using my trusty Creative Labs RivaTNT.

Yes, TNT1... lol

It works fine.. I'm not much of a gamer anyway.
