Greg Hess Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Sure np. Glad you confirmed that its an issue with the geforce3 chipsets. Sorry there doesn't seem to be a fix other then a new card...sigh. Try and save up for a quadro if you can. If not, a geforce 5200 FX (64 or 128) is only like 63 USD, and has tv out, dvi-i, hd15 and nview/twinview support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Knourek Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 I know this is way late on the responce but I have a Leadtek GF3 Ti500 here and had similar "flickering" issues with it and it ended up to be a bad capacitor on the board. Ended up replacing the board anyway cause I cant find a replacement Currently running a GF4Ti4600 and its working great powering a 191T(digital) and a 172T(analog). -dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard McCarthy Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 I would say Ti4600. Great value for CAD/3D work. The new Geforce FX line are just gimmicks. They just added the shaders.. which aren't use much even in games (maybe wait till end of next year when more games supporting DX9 have come to market) In most 3D applications/CAD, Shaders are hardly used. (unless you are into realtime walk through, or Game development) On Tomshardware/guru3d, I think I have read couple of independent reviews, they all show that GeForce FX 5600 are inferior in almost every aspect to Ti4200 ~ 4800 series. Even GeForce FX 5600 ULTRA is slower in term of perfomance to Ti series. Only 5900/5900 ULTRA start to beat Ti series, but then again, you are paying 3 times.. sometimes 5 times more money for a card with marginal performance gain.. -RM Originally posted by xgarcia: Thx Greg, If I were to order today - between these two which one? - Gainward Ti4600 Dual-DVI ($195 USD) *edit (I think they ran out of stock on these, page no longer works)* - Gainward GeForce FX5600 256 MB Dual-DVI ($199 USD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgarcia Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Thx guys. I think I'm going to hold out for the Quadro FX's to drop price. The flickering isn't that big a deal to get a card right away. Thanks for the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
