should i upgrade to a Ti 500 or 8500 from Geforce3???

[trey_w]

i currently am running a Geforce 3

i am wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade video cards right now or just wait?

I currently have my video card water cooled and

it is running @ 220\510 stock is : 200\460

FSB @ 110

it ran very stable and without any nasty pixel problems like i had before the water cooling

here is what i hit with the water cooling:

when it was OEM cooling: FSB @ 115
GeForce3 @ 220\510

here is what i hit with OEM cooling,:

i guess the biggest question is will i see a huge difference in numbers if i upgrade video cards?

i think i have more to get out of the system, as i know i have had the FSB up to 115, but i have not tried it yet with the watercooling

you wont see much of a difference, the Geforce 3, Ti500 and the 8500 are at most 10% different...if all you do is benchmarking, hten sure upgrade, but for actual gaming you wont see a difference...

thats what i was thinking,

i do bench mark, but i play more games

i would rather use this one and wait for a card to caome out where i would see alot of difference

then i could use this in another comp

I would wait. Not worth spending so much money for so little.
