Radeon VE vs GF3 Ti200

[krwell]

Which do you guys think is better??? I have the Radeon VE, is it worth trying for the GF3 Ti200 at Best Buy tomorrow morning??

If you want it for gaming the Ti 200 will wipe the floor with the VE, $99 is a sweet price

Yea gaming no contest , but what about for 2D apps and dual display (what the VE was designed for)
Radeon VE can be had for about $50.

Thats like comparing a Voodoo 1 to a Geforce.

I'm running the VE on a system with a Planar 18.1" LCD. Text looks awesome, but gaming isn't the greatest. Amazingly enough, it ran Max Payne without any problems (except the fire scenes), but it looks horrible in High Heat 2002. My Geforce2 GTS runs High Heat 2002 flawlessly though.

I managed to get in on the Best Buy deal and man am I ever happy. I had a Radeon and thought it had nice 2D/3D but I changed back to my Voodoo4 which had a little better quality in 2D. I was leary about buying a GeForce3, but at $100, I figured it would be worth a shot. All I can say is that the Visiontech GF3 Ti200 has better picture quality than my Voodoo4 and that is really saying something. Even small text is super clear and the print is nice and dark. Even though I don't play a lot of games, it is nice to have the power if I need it for 3D action. All I can say is that my little experience with the GeForce3 is all positive. 2D/3D quality is top notch! ( I run it at 1152x864 @85Hz with a 19" NEC FP950)
