I currently have the first Gen. Visiontek GF3. 200/460. I bought it a few months after they popped onto the seen. What's the next step up in the GeForce line from this card? I'm thinking of selling this one and upgrading to the next step. Suggestions please.
Thanks,
Sweeper |

OMG... You must do serious gaming, because I have a GF256 w/ 32MB RAM (Like 3 years old almost?) that can slice through any game perfectly (at highest quality)

If you want to upgrade (which i see no reason for, coz you have a very nice card) .. then the GF3 Ti500 is your start point with hight core and memory speeds than the older GF3 ... and then you will be in the GF4 line of cards which still expensive ...
And don't consider GF4 MX cards as an upgrade ... your present card would beat them ...

| GeForce4? 
I looked at a few GF4's yesterday at the local computer show, but the price was a bit of a deterant for me 
There are lots of reviews out there; here's one from this month on a Visiontek Xtasy GeForce 4 | |

There's nothing wrong with the card. Actually it's pretty nice. I added a BLORB to it and it will overclock rather nicely. I haven't done any upgrading to my PC in awhile and was curious as to what the next step up would be along the video card line.

Ill take it from GF2 thru current fromt worst to best as far as I understand and remember them.
GF2 MX 200 (or nForce 420)
GF2 MX
GF2 MX 400 (or nForce 440)
GF4 MX 420
GF2 GTS-V
GF2 GTS
GF2 Pro
GF2 Ti
GF2 Ultra
GF4 MX 440
GF4 MX 460
GF3 Ti200
GF3
GF3 Ti500

EDIT - The GF4 MX440 ans 460 series has better specs than I thought. I had to edit the rankings for them.
