About four months ago, I got a hold of a Gainward GeForce2 Ti/500 XP.
For the price ($120, s&H) I got it at, it was feature packed and a great,
stable card. It had VIVO and was a golden sample (3.8ns version, isntead of the 4.0ns). It was just a great cheap card for me... now I can't find it anywhere (online, that is). Are they just not stocked/manufactured anymore... or is it the sleep deprivation?

I got one (Gainward) about 5 months ago. It was an excellent deal for the performance at the time. Mine has 4ns ram and I am still running it at 300/520. However, if I were getting another video card now, I would just go for a Geforce 3 Ti 200 or a Radeon 8500LE. Both can be had for about $100 and have alot more firepower than a Geforce 2 chipset.

If i were looking for a budget card I would get the Visiontek Xtasy 5864 Geforce 2 Ti 64MB. It is $58 shipped on Pricewatch and should overclock easily to 270/460. While alot of people are gonna say it is not fast enough anymore, it will still handle all current games and play smoothly.

I was hoping for something powerful like the GeForce2 Ti/500 XP was (at least in its time), but also had VIVO. The Ti/500 XP was just great with video capture and a decent 3D card. So... what would everyone recommend now...?
