Which card to keep? 32MB GTS or 64MB GTS???

[DizzyBunny]

I have just gotten 1 of each off of Ubid for a really good price. They are both Visiontek cards.

Which one should I keep and install in my system?

System is a Gateway PIII 450 with 320MB of ram

I read in the reviews here that the 32MB card actually can outperform the 64MB card in a lot of instances....

I usually play online games, Action Half Life, Kingpin, Day of Defeat etc.......


Whichever one it is will be replacing a GEforce2 MX 32MB card

Thanks for any advice

That's total BS. The 64mb will be much better off to keep. If you play at 800x600 or 640x480 then keep the 32MB. And there is something about Visiontek Geforce 2 GTS is that the 64mb sometimes have 5.5 ns memory(183Mhz) whereas the 32mb has 6ns memory(166Mhz)

performance is the same i'd say 3 FPS Difference at most @ 1600 x 1200

sell the 64 cuz u will get more money for it

That VT GF2 32 meg is a GTS-V. Ubid doesn't advertise it as such, but it is. If you check, you will see it has a 175/286 core/mem speed. I'm not sure what the 64 meg card is.

So.......will I see a noticable difference between either card given my system?

My gut feeling is I won't. I can get my money back for the 32MB card(friend will buy it for what I paid) but I'm not sure if I could recoup all my $$ for the 64MB card.

What would you guys do if you had your choice of cards?

If I was in that situation.. I'd try to sell the two cards for as much as possible.. and put those funds toward a Geforce 3 Ti 200

The 64 MB GTS will be slightly faster than the 32 MB one especially if the 32 MB is the slower GTS-V.
