geforce2 ti200 or geforce2 ultra

[Guest]

i was looking for a new video card, and i was comparing these 2, and the ti is 30 dollars cheaper and seems to perform close to the ultra, is this card worth getting or should i spring for the ultra?

There is no way a GF2 TI performs as well as a GeForce 2 Ultra. The GF2 TI barely performs as well as a GF 2 Pro, and not even as good as that. You would be better off looking at a GF3 TI200, but if you can't afford that, get the GF2 Ultra.

GF2 TI Basically is the TNT2 M64 of today... a bad move.

Take a look at Tom's review for the new Titanium video cards here:

I'd say the Ultra is the better of the two cards. I'm putting together a new system and will probably stick with the GTS - Don't think I need the horsepower of the Ultra or a GF3. That and the GTS costs nearly half the cost of the Ultra - It's the best price/performance ratio for me!

what about the geforce 3 ti 200, i noticed it is the same price as the ultra.

Between the GF3 TI and the Ultra, I'd go with the GF3 TI. If it is the same price as the Ultra, then it's a great deal because it consistently beats the Ultra in benchmarks! Check out Tom's review/benchmarks here:

The GF3 Ti200 is $179 at www.sybercom.com
If I had a choice between the Ultra and the GF3 Ti200 the gf3 Ti200 would be my choice. For me, the right choice is the GF2 GTS. It costs $79 less and is enough card for me, because I don't do a lot of 1st-person shooters.
