    IMO, Gainward is putting out the best GF cards, period. I have an original GF3 but I know CajnDave got one of these cards and he says it's a screamer.

    PNY GeForce3Ti200 is cheaper at $154. I recommend this for three reasons. It's black, it can overclock really well, and has a lifetime warrenty.

    actually from what i heard, PNYs cant o/c for crap, but they are good cards for the price, i bet the gainward golden would smoke PNY Ti200 (stock of course), also, i forget, who makes the Ti200 with 3.8ns ram?

    I have the exact same card in question... and it performs great. I'd still take a Leadtek over a PNY though. Gainward would still be my first pick and the 128 MB of RAM is well worth it for games with large amounts of textures such as Aquanox. I previously had the 64 MB version and I noticed quite a difference in the upgrade.

    The best thing about the Ti-200 is that it can OC to Ti-500 speeds very easily. I'm not sure how the PNY having a black PCB makes it any better -- the Gainward is red which looks great but it's only a cosmetic difference. :rolleyes:

    The Gainward GF3 Ti200 64MB is $153 from newegg, it overclocks to insane numbers, my next choice would be Leadtek and I probably would have gotten a Leadtek provided they didn't bundle so much BS software to boost the price.

    I've got the gainward GF3 ti 200 64mb version and I love this thing... Overclocked it right outta the box to what you see in my sig and its awsome, no problems with it yet. Had it running at that speed for bout 4 months now without a problem.

    Word. I have the Gainward and it's running at 250/500 over the stock 175/400 ROCK SOLID. It's awesome. It is, however, a little twitchy with FSB overclocking. I could only get my P3's FSB up to 140 whereas my ELSA Gladiac 32 I could get to 153.
