[Strange] MSI GeForce 3 ti200

[Noctaurus]

Meh, I just aquired SiSoftware Sandra Pro, and was looking around at my port information.

Now, I've always noticed that my GeForce 3 seems to be much more reliable and even offer better performance than a lot of Radeon 9500/9600s. Keeping in mind that this computer was bought from Dell(I'm building my own computer now), I never realized it was MSI until now.

Could this explain the quality? I've heard other gamers compain about shitty GF2 and 3's, but I never connected with them. It runs at 4x in AGP. On Ebay a couple days back I saw it going for $80 with 5 or 6 bids, and a normal GF3 going for around $30.

The question is, are MSI GF3 ti200's still worth $80, or was that a fluke? Just wondering, since that would cut off a lot from my Sapphire 9800 Pro.

That's a fluke. I also have the same model (from Dell). It is reliable I suppose but it doesn't overclock very well for a Ti200.

I would say it's a fluke, considering that if you look hard enough, you can find a 9600 for about $100 or a 128MB TI4200 in the $80s.
