The PNY Geforce 3 Ti 200 is definitely a great card for many reasons. You can’t really argue with a price of about $160 retail for a card like this. Not only does it have a DVI connector but it also S-Video out. Also with this card being able to easily do speeds of a normal Geforce 3 with stock cooling. At the time being for all conventional uses of a video card, such as today’s games and applications this card will suit anyone wanting a top notch card that will provide excellent results while keeping the cost low.
PNY decided to use good 4ns memory, which made the overclocking so easy. However I would have like to have seen some thermal compound on the GPU and thermal epoxy on the RAMsinks rather than the conventional pink thermal pad and frag tape. This however is an easy fix for you hardcore overclockers who want to push your card to its very limits.
Overall I am very satisfied with this card and would recommend it to anyone who wants to spend around $150 on an upgrade for a video card. If you are still using a Geforce 2MX or TNT2 I would suggest that this might be the card for you. It will offer much more than what you are currently using and you should be very happy with it.
Pros:
- Well priced
- PCB and RAMsinks look awesome
- Overclocks to Geforce 3 speeds
- DVI and S-Video connections
Cons:
- No S-Video cable
- Thermal pad and frag tape used
- Game bundle is lacking
