Exchange my GF3 for a ATI 8500 Retail ?
I hawe a retail normal GF3 Leadtek not TI series and a friend of mine just bought a TI4400 MSI and he want to give me his Radeon 8500 Retail (275 memory)for a good price .
Now ,.... if i sold my old GF3 it will be for the exact same money so i consider that is an exchange .
It is worthit to swap those or not ?
Thx for your time and help .

i say go with it! i had a geforce3 (not ti) and it was junk my 8500 is much better! if you can get the ati for a good price i say go for it! by the way how much is he sellin it to you and how much do you think you can get for your card? if your goin to pay 40$ more than what you could sell your card for i would stay with the gf3 but if you can get for maybe 20$ more i would go for it. That 8500 will work great with your rig. Good Luck

Keep your Geforce3 its faster and will be better in most future games because of the higher quality drivers and memory controller.
Most Geforce3 cards can overclock to 220-230/500-560 I would try overclocking since it would give you Ti500 like speeds and it would be alot faster then the R8500. There are some games like JediKnight2 where the 8500 has a slight atvantage 1-2fps but its not worth switching cards because 95% of games will be faster with the Geforce3, The very very few games that are slower on the geforce3 will be become faster on the gf3 when Nvidia releases their new DET5 drivers.
