Which one is better????

[gbpec7]

Which of these two cards is better,
GeForce3 Ti200, or
Radeon 8500-LE?
Both have 64 megs of ram.

BTW, the GF3 is made by Visiontek and the Radeon is made by Power Magic.

Guess where I found that link?

I went there already......all it showed me was:
Ti200~175/400
8500~250/500
I was hoping to some personal feedback from actual users of these cards.

The benchmarks are close for both, on some games the Ti200 is better........on others the 8500LE is better.

Id say go with the GeForce3 Ti200....i had no trouble with it ever since i bought it ...it doesnt give me no bulls**T about not being able to support software, etc.. also many of my friends use the GeForce3 Ti200...mostly for extreme gaming such as Delta Force: Black Hawk Down which really needs a high Ram req...spend it all out on the GeForce3 Ti200...

Watch the language please

gb, there should be benchmarks further into the article. I don't think it has the Ti200 in there though, kinda outdated...

edit: oops, yes it does http://www20.tomshardware.com/graphi...charts-02.html

Just one note... I've seen more than one post here that have talked about dead visiontek Ti cards. I personally had one go bad on me and I was SOL.

Thanks for the replies, I did go through the whole article and found the 8500LE to score just a little bit higher on most of them except Dungeon Siege, 79.5 to the Ti200's 99.5.

I'd go with the 8500LE

Ditto to Ramon.
I would go with the Radeon 8500LE.

Thanks for the replies, I think I'm going to stick with the 8500LE. I already have that one installed but I just bought this one so I was wondering which one to use.
