Can't tell if it is the Ti500 though :( would perfer the Ti500.
Can anyone tell me if this is the Ti500 or not.

And this goes with which brand is better kinda, is this a good one? $299 seems pretty good as well. Is there cheaper out there?

What about this G3 Click here (http://www.abilitywholesale.com/abicom/VID022.html)

Yea i'd say that the OCZ Titan 3 (geforce3) is probably the best regular geforce 3 on the market. Both the clock speed and the memory are set higher than the normal brands, plus this card will o/c VERY VERY well. Heres (http://forum.3dgameman.com/files/3gm/vr/ocz_titan3_geforce_3.wmv) an awesome review of this awesome card! oh and the company name OCZ is short for Overclockerz:) . The gainward is a really good card to.

P.S. i wonder why they chose the blorb for the OCZ titan 3

It's a standard geforce 3 overclocked. It won't go much higher.

It's mostly for people too lazy to overclock or who want that guaranteed speed.

If you're looking for a Ti500 card then I know Visiontek and Pony have a card out with this chipset. There's a Visiontek xtasy 6964 for sale on pricewatch.com for $320. Just something to look at.

thanks for the info guys


just a note on that OCZ card.. I read a review where they overclocked it higher then that.. quite a bit. Like 40mhz higher.

Anyways if I find that review again I'll post a link.

go to www.hardocp.com they did a review on the ABIT Siluro i think its called, but this is the best GF3 HOCP has ever tested, it was overclocked the most of out any other one they have tested(with stock cooling) this is what im getting once the cash flow starts....

ummmmmm did u watch that review. They o/ced the core like 40Mhz or something and the RAM was o/ced 100Mhz, but they did have a bigger fan blowing on it. So if u wanted to o/c this card would do so nicely, even if u didn't want to it is still faster than any normal GF3. Just some food for thought.
