I know some people are saying"I sill can't believe they're still being used?" but my V5500 was a work horse for the year or so that I had it for. But as the title says, I must move on, and up, so I bent over backwards and got the Pny G3 Ti200. I know it's not as fancy as the G3 Ti500 or the ATI 8500, but I believe we must all take small steps before we jump, or we might end up buying a Voodoo, I mean falling.

what's your performance difference between the V5 and the Ti 200... I'm considering the same upgrade.

That's insane, I've only gotten into the mid 4000's with my new card, am I doing something wrong, I don't have it OC'ed much, 190/400. I just got it today. What are your settings for 3dmark Wildone, even in the lowest res and everything else low or off, I couldn't break 4k, maybe it's the oc? I think the rest of my sys can support the card, just wondering why the low scores.

set your texture detail lower with NVMax and you will get a much higher score

that's odd.... i scored over a 6400 on a non-oc'd system, non-oc'd card, with all the stock settings. i just installed 3dmark2k1, and ran 'benchmark'. am i doing something 'wrong'? :D

Last I knew, NVidia owns 3DFX. So why don' t they start implementing Glide on their new cards? That would be so sweet!

Good question Wally. Why don't they??? Probably the smoothest combo we've seen, huh?

Oohhhh, man! Quake 2 in Glide versus anything else was just awesome. Made everything look so pretty!
