Video Card Question

Post by ITIMAN »

I know this shoud be posted in Tech form but wanted to make sure someone saw it before I leave for Texas.<br><br>I think I am right... I have a Nvidia GF 2 TI card right now and a friend of mine has a Nvidia GF 3 TI 200 that he is willing to just give me for free...<br><br>I know it is not a huge one but is it a upgrade???<br><br>It seems like it.....If it is, i think I will bring it down and then install it in Texas...<br><br>What do you think?<br><br>ITIMAN <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://members.cox.net/ccraig3/itiman6.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

Definitely upgrade. Big diff. Especially if it's 128MB. <p></p><i></i>

How can you beat free? <br><br>I personally skip the odd generations; I've had the Riva 128, gf2, 4, and now 6, but that's because I've paid for all of them. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>XMEN member<br>Card-carrying DTM<br>OKL Fish-napper<br><br>Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em> The Tao of Programming</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>

I still think it is 64MB but on the GF 3 they introduced new technology for video cards so I am thinking it will be a slight improvement.<br><br>Cool, I will put it in.... <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://members.cox.net/ccraig3/itiman6.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>
