What is the best Gerforce3 TI 200?

[the creature]

Hi, I currently have a Creative TNT 2 Ultra, that is a very good card, I haven't got any problems what so ever.

Now I'm looking for a new card, and my eyes are currently looking on the Gerforce3 TI200 line of cards, but wiche should I choose, when I wants performance/oc and stabilety(!)?

I have looked at those here (Inputs are welcome)
Gainward GeForce3 Ti/450TV 64MB 4ns (Is this one whit the RAM and GPU heatsink together?
Point Of View
Creative
Cardexpert GeForce3 Ti/450TV 64MB 4,0n
ASUS
Visiontek not aveable

By the way, I did read that there was some problems with TI cards on VIA's chipsets, is this right? Are there a fix to this problem?

I myself bought a gainward gf3 ti 200 and a abit gf3 ti 200 and i belive out of the both that gainward is better just for the reason i can overclock that bad boy to 250/495 and the abit one i had some problems with different hardware...

the Leadtek is the one with the huge heatsink that has the RAM and gpu heatsink together. But that's only on the Ti500 line. the Ti200 line doesn't even come with ram sinks from leadtek. My suggestion would be go with Gainward or Visiontek(if you can somehow get you hands on one).

The gainward came with a big heatsink with small fins on it for better cooling and ramsinks Also the card is Bright red for looks just if U wanted to know If I can find my digital camera I would show U... very nice card I was surprise....also both lines ti200 and ti 500 come with nice heatsinks and ramsinks.:eek:

Hack the planet...:burn:

Are there any good sites that has looket at the video chip on those cards?

Are you surre that it is the Gainvard that has the big heatsing? I't a drawback since I'm using watercooling.

Get the Hercules 3D Prophet3 Ti200 its mem is guarranteed to 500 from 400!!!

Just ask AXIA with stock cooling (very good) he got 233/533.

I have a Leadtek Geforce3 Ti-200 TDH. It has the large heatsink that covers ram and core. The ram is rated at 3.8ns on my card and currently OCs to 230/530.

The Gainward has a big heatsink but not as big as the Leadtek one. If you want the Ti200 then the Leadtek doesn't even have ramsinks but a nice hs/f on the gpu. Look here (http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage.asp?image=14-122-123-01.JPG/14-122-123-02.JPG/14-122-123-03.JPG) for the LeadtekTi500 here (http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage.asp?image=14-122-126-01.JPG/14-122-126-02.JPG/14-122-126-03.JPG) for the LEadtek Ti200. here's (http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage.asp?image=14-128-101-01.JPG/14-128-101-02.JPG/14-128-101-03.JPG) the Gainward Ti500 and here's (http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage.asp?image=14-128-111-01.JPG/14-128-111-02.JPG/14-128-111-03.JPG/14-128-111-04.JPG/14-128-111-05.JPG) the Gainward Ti200. As you can see the Leadtek hs is huge even compared to the Gainward. If you want me to put more pics of different cards just ask:)

I was led to beleive that ALL ti200's had 4.0ns mem.

Here is my Leadtek ti200 TDH with Heatsink removed. The Heatsink covers both RAM and CORE, so it was necessary to remove so I could read the memory speed:

are you sure you have the Ti200 because according to Leadtek's website http://www.leadtek.com/lrusa.htm only the Ti500 has 3.8ns RAM. I'd double check on that.

I got in on the deal from bestbuy and got me a Visiontek Xtasy 6564 for $99 and easily got it to 220/490 from 175/400. and my system is scoring and impressive 8100 in 3dmark 2001.

I have the MSI Ti200 and it has a huge heatsink and ramsinks. It runs at 225/515 no problems.

Also have a MSI Ti200. Running mine at 220/515 with stock hsf. Can run stable at 225/525, but I want the most stability with as high clocks as possible so I run at 220/515.
