Have anyone read the article today? they said eventhough the Geforce3"MX" is hit at the lower core and Mem speed, but when o/c, it still manage to beat the current Geforce3!! datz not happening is it? and the price is way cheaper as wel! man, i really should of wait for another two month when i bought mine GF3!
BTW does anyone know why is it faster? coz beside itz unfair, Nvidia should of know once this version hit the market, no one ish goin ta buy the current one......

i think alot of people will still buy the regular one because they are gonna go way down in price a whole lot in the next few months

I'll be getting a Ti200... I think NVidia is going to be keeping the "regular" GF3 at a higher price....

The regular Gf3 is being replaced by the Ti 200 and the Ti500

Does that mean I should sell my card quickly and upgrade to the Titanium before my card becomes obsolete?

Not unless U want to be a sucker for the lastest and greatest from Nvidia. I don't think you'd even notice the difference exept maybe in 3DMark

Be careful w/ those settings, make sure you watch for artifacts.
Guys, when posting 3DMARK2001 scores, specify what settings the benchmark was done at. Alot of people say what they got at 640x480x16!!!!!! So remember to include that.

W/ config on my signature:

1024x768x32 = 7020

In reply to original post, you can probably O/C a ti200 to perform like an original GF3, but you can still o/c the original 1 to even better ;) Doesnt matter cuz there isnt too much price diff.

lol, with dat setting and pplz still get below 7000 then they must used a MX or worser.
BTW i think most pplz here post their score on the default setting.

His score isn't that impressive. I have an Athlon 950, not overclocked, on a crappy motherboard, stuck at 1X AGP speed, and with me GeForce2 Ultra, I get a score of 6000+ in 3DMark2000, 3200 in 3DMark2001.
