"Oh sweet Lord thank you SR"

Been running a TNT Pro 64 graphic card.
S'alright, 32mb jobbie.

But SR have a 64mb Sparkle Geoforce II64mb Nividia for £79.99.
And I got one tonight.

Oh lordy....sweet gaming heaven.
My old card was adequate, did a benchmark test and it came out at 800.
Did the same test on the new card?
2475.

3 times the speed and power.
All for less than £100.
You mentalist PC Owners really, really should get one if your not rocking a 64mb card.
The difference is stunning.
ALL my games on max detail with no slow-down at all.
And don't worry it's "Sparkle", it's still Nvidia.
It's still the shiniest, fastiest thing I've had in meh machine for yonks.

Now instead of playing games all night on the PC, I go to ma woman and play games all night.
Hur hur hur

It's very pretty...but don't get it if you know the results will only depress you, heh. It's a useful tool, if only for getting people tweaking their pcs and being competitive..

Go to www.madonion.com, download 3d Mark 2001, and possibly 2000, depending on the age of your PC. I'd like to push my score above 7000 on 2001 tonight, currently at 6694...shouldn't be hard, that was with my box underclocked.

38MB? Is a d/l of that size worth it?

I need a new graphics card, and £80 is about the most i will be able to spend on one. So i have decided to buy it, just hope its as good as you say. :)

Hum. I have before, quite liked it,my money just tends to go to the PC rather than consoles. Still refuse to sell any of them though...I'll get it off keith some time, he offered to swap skies of arcadia for my ps2..

But you'll never play Skies of Arcadia.

I cry for you, I really do.

I haven't touched my consoles for ages, all gathering dust in the corner..

Well, my box is fairly high spec now (GF3 Ti500, XP1600, 512mb DDR), but I can still get low framerates on new games like ballistics at highest res/detail...you'll be able to play games for many years yet, but you will have to upgrade to keep it the best, the moment the GF4 hits the street, the GF3 will be out of date..As I said, it's a card with a fairly short lifespan.

Why in the name of grass is green or mud is brown would you need to upgrade for the next few years if you have a GeForce3 in your machine???

That is my point.
