Geforce 3 from VisionTek

[Me]

I might have the chance to buy this card for $255 is that a good deal or should i buy one thats brand new?

I know that this card comes with 3.8 ns ram on board and the leadtek only has 4ns ram my question is , the leadtek geforce 3 card slower and will i have a better chance to overclock my geforce card in the future with a better fan. I heard that the vision teks fans are not so good
thanks

I have a VisionTek GF3 and it never really gets all that hot. I think the hsf on it works great... you don't exactly need extreme cooling on that thing.

Thats a good price.
If you know the person fine.
If not just make sure it has a a9 pcb and a5 gpu.
You can see the a9 above the fan and to the right.
The reason I say this is visiontek gave out quite a few cards as promotion that have the buggy a3 version of the gpu.
I do not know the pbc revision of the promotion cards thou.

Note the -A09 on the board behind where it says A5.

The local Best Buy store can't keep any Vision Tek GF3 cards in stock at $399 US.

WRONG I looked it up while they say it has 4ns RAM it really has 3.8ns so the are both the same so choose which one you want.
