hareball82 Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 I'm looking into buying a GeForce3-based video card. I have narrowed it down to the ELSA Gladiac 920 & the Hercules 3D Prophet III, but I can't decide which to get. Any suggestions? Are there cards out there that are better than this (for a reasonable price)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quboid Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 All GF3 GTS cards are very similar and out of the little difference, those two are about top. I have the Elsa which is a great card that's given me no trouble, however I believe the Herc is an every so slightly faster card. If there's much of a price difference, get the cheaper. If not, get the Herc. I don't think there is better without going for a GF3 Ti500 which is more ???. IIRC, Herc is fastest, then Leadtek, then Asus, then Elsa then the 10 or so others. There is a miniscul difference between them, but don't get Asus - they have some terrible marketing schemes that include drivers that allow people to cheat in most games online. Not good, and absolutely appalingly bad marketing. Boycott them please. I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCtaylor Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 Well the best GF3 out there is from 3dpower. Its the Morpheus www.3dpower.com If you want all the bells and whistles Asus would be the best for as they give you 3d glasses and a couple of games. For overclocking Leadtek and Gainward For looks 3d prophet or power color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
