Overview Of The Titanium Series

The GeForce3 Ti cards differ from their predecessors in more than just clock speed. The new models also use a refined layout. The most visible change is the new power supply which uses fewer components. Also, the Ti500 boards use eight-layer PCBs, instead of the current six-layer design, although some companies have also started using these PCBs for their Ti200 models. While this may give the impression of a higher quality product, we were unable to make out any differences between the six- and eight-layer models in operation. Theoretically, it would even be possible to use a Ti500 on an "old" GF3 PCB without any problems.
