Which midlevel Gainward card?

[msb2ncsu]

I am finishing up building my sustem and trying to decide on a video card. I am pretty sure that I want to go with Gainward because it seems to have a good reputation and perform fairly well. The only games I play are Everquest and Day of Defeat & Rogue Spear occasionally. I also do a lot of graphics work and web page design. I am not really sure what card is appropriate for my needs. Of course money is a factor or I would just go for the $300+ cards. A couple sites picked the Ti450 as the Best Value but I don't really need TV out because I have a stereo system with a 5disc DVD player so wont be watching DVDs on my computer. Any suggestions ehre would be wonderful. If there is another value type card along these same lines then feel free to suggest. Oh and I wont be doing any OC or anything. Below are the 3 I was tossing around

Gainward GeForce2 Ti450 TV
64MB W/ TV-OUT DDR 4.5ns - RETAIL
from NewEgg.com for $118

Gainward GeForce 2 TITANIUM Ti / 500 XP
4ns 64MB DDR , VIVO, Golden Sample Plus. Retail
from NewEgg.com for $139

Gainward/Cardexpet GeForce 3 Ti200
Power Pack Golden Sample, 4ns 64MB DDR, Retial
from NewEgg.com for $179

I have the gainward ti200... clocked at 240/500 I LOVE THIS THING... I think if you are an avid gamer, this IS the card to buy (or atleast chipset)...

I think they are all nice cards. You wont go wrong with any of them. If I were to pick though, I would get the G3 Ti 200. I think if I was going to go with one of the G2 Ti cards, then I would spend the extra cash for the Gold Sample card.

If you've got the money then the GF3 Ti200 would be excellent, if your budget oriented and don't need TV-Out then NewEgg has Gainward's GF2 Ti/450 without TV-Out for only $99 which is a very attractive price/performance ratio.
