  GeForce 6 Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The GeForce 6600 (NV43) was officially launched on August 12th, 2004, several months after the launch of the 6800 Ultra.
The GeForce 6500 was released in October 2005 and is based on the same NV44 core as the GeForce 6200TC, but with a higher GPU clock speed and more memory.
The GeForce 6200 TurboCache / AGP (NV44/NV44a) is a natively four-pipeline version of the NV43.

 GeForce3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The GeForce 2 and GeForce3 lines were replaced in early 2002 by the GeForce 4 MX and Ti lines, respectively.
The GeForce 4 Ti was very similar to its predecessor; the main differences were higher core and memory speeds, a revised memory controller, improved vertex and pixel shaders, hardware anti-aliasing and DVD playback.
With the GeForce 4 Ti 4600 as the new flagship product, this was the beginning of the end of the GeForce 3 Ti 500 which was already difficult to produce due to poor yields, and it was later completely replaced by the Ti 4200.

 GeForce 3
However the GeForce 3 had the lead when anti-aliasing was enabled, and its vertex and pixel shaders for future games enabled the GeForce 3 to replace the GeForce 2 Ultra as Nvidia's top of the line product.
The GeForce 2 and GeForce 3 lines were replaced in early 2002 by the GeForce 4 MX and Ti lines, respectively.
Unlike most Nvidia graphics products, the GeForce 3 was always aimed at the high-end and upper-midrange gaming performance market, and at no time was there a cheap, entry-level version of it—nor was there any need for one, as the numerous GeForce 2 variants were well placed to serve in the mass-market role.

 Preview - GeForce 3 // PC /// Eurogamer
GeForce 3 is powered by the new nVidia nfiniteFX(TM) engine, which allows programmers to write to and from the GPU using the Pixel Shader and Vertex Shader processor.
The GeForce 2 Ultra, which we put under the spotlight yesterday, will be the market leader going into the release of the GeForce 3, and the jump is apparently mesmerizing.
For instance, the GeForce 3 will incorporate a 128bit DDR memory interface, and unless nVidia decide to announce a 256bit one, or perhaps a second 128bit interface to separate texture and TandL data from one another, the GeForce 3 will be bottlenecked by memory bandwidth, yet again.

 Review - GeForce 3 // PC /// Eurogamer
The GeForce 3 also performs lookup operations on the z-value of where the pixel is meant to appear to determine whether or not it needs to be drawn or not.
Anyway, the last pixel of the frame is rendered and the HRAA-engine of the GeForce 3 pokes one sample buffer half a pixel in each direction, which has the effect of surrounding the first sample by four pixels of the second sample, diagonally a minute distance away.
Although the GeForce 3 definitely handles matters a lot better than the Radeon (and is the first graphics card on our testbed to run 3D action monster Tribes 2 flawlessly at high resolutions), its competitor from ATI just looks slightly sharper at times, and that sort of distinction is important.

 The Adrenaline Vault Review of NVIDIA GeForce 3 Reference Adapter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The GeForce 3 uses two different computational methods: The first is multi-sampling, which is different from the traditional super-sampling in that it is designed to eliminate redundancies, something akin to the hidden surface removal concept.
During playback at 1600x1200x32, the GeForce 3 had some noticeable blur during the fight scene in the dojo and at times there were jerky hesitations.
However, since the GeForce 3 is at the heart of the upcoming Xbox gaming console, it is very possible that PC gamers may see a flood of innovative titles coming their way sooner than they might otherwise expect.

 Geforce 3 Titanium TI 500   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Geforce 3 Ti500 will be made using enhanced.15u TSMC Process while chip itself will have 57M Transistors just like original Geforce 3.
Geforce 3 TI 200 will be performance and features of Geforce 3 at half the price followed with 700 Billion Operation per Second, 64 MB 400 MHz memory subsystem with 16 AA samples/clock – 2.8 Billion AA sub-pixels/sec.
On 1024x768x32 TI 500 is 11.1 faster than Geforce 3 and we could expect even better performance from higher resolution such as 1600x1200 but as we said earlier we could not try it.

 Weird benchmark question: 9250 or Geforce 3 Titanium? - Overclockers Forums
I know it's a little silly, but this Geforce 3 Ti has run Doom 3 with decent settings at playable FPS, and even though the 9250 is a much newer card, it seems unlikely it could do the same.
A friend's little bro is getting ready for his first build, and if the Geforce 3 Ti will outrun the 9250, giving it to him will free up some of his budget for other things.
I actually just got the Geforce 3 Titanium for free when I helped a friend swap in a 6800 GT, so it's just a freebie for the kid, so he can spend his money on something worthwhile instead of a 9250.

 nV News - NVIDIA GeForce3 Preview - Anisotropic Filtering
I was thrilled with the results as the GeForce 3 rarely dipped below 30 frames per second.
Note that antialiasing on the GeForce 3 wasn't able to eliminate the effects of aliasing on the rails as is shown in the first screen shot.
Based on this exercise, I've come to realize that the GeForce 3 has what it takes for the gamer to take visual quality to the next level.

 Pierre Legrand’s Pink Flamingo Bar » Old Dog vs. Big Bad Ass New Dog or how bad do I need new stuff….???   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The cards tested were the WinFast Lead Tek Geforce 3 clocked to 220 core 525 memory and the 3dfx Voodoo5 clocked to 185mhz.  I used the Detonator 23.11 drivers for the Geforce and Beta 1.04.01 for the Voodoo5.
Yup no doubt that the Geforce 3 is able to sustain higher framerates when FSAA is pushed to the maximum on both cards.
Of the 39 benchmark numbers I have 18 were wins for the Geforce 3, 13 were wins for the Voodoo5 and there were 8 ties (tie being defined as anything within 2 frames), that’s almost as astounding as the Nvidia demos.

 Nvidia GeForce 3 is go | The Register
Indeed, it's much further beyond the GeForce 2 than that chip was ahead of the GeForce 256, the first in the family.
As we predicted in our GeForce 3 preview, both engines allow 3D software developers to customise the chip to the specific needs of their applications, rather than the other way round.
Given the arrival this year of not only the GeForce 3, but the final shipment of the GeForce 2 MX, the Xbox graphics processor, the Xbox Media Communications Processor plus a version of it aimed at the low-end PC market, you don't need to take his word for it, just do the maths.

The Inno3D GeForce 7950 GT is clocked at 500MHz (core) and 1400MHz (effective data rate) and is equipped with 8 programmable vertex shaders to process those computationally intensive transformation operations.
Using the XFX GeForce 7900 GS, Doom 3 performance is compared to the BFG GeForce 7800 GTX OC, which debuted in June of 2005 at a suggested price of $599.
The newly announced GeForce 7950 GT has 24 pixel shading pipelines and 8 vertex shading units with a core running at 550MHz and is paired with 512MB of memory at 1.4 GHz at a MSRP of $299 to $349.

 Nvidia GeForce 3 Ti 500   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Over the next few months you can probably expect the brand name of GeForce 3 Titanium to take the place of the regular GeForce 3 cards, which are likely to be phased out.
In terms of speed, the GeForce 3 Ti 500 sports a 240Mhz core with 64Mb of 500Mhz DDR memory, cranking up the core speed of the original GeForce 3, which ran at 200Mhz core and 460Mhz memory, by 20 per cent.
After testing, we've got to say the Ti 500 may not offer much on the previous GeForce 3, but if you're looking for the fastest thing to date, well, that blur with the Titanium stamp on its backside was it.

 bit-tech.net | GeForce 7900 GTX Roundup
NVIDIA managed to successfully hard-launch GeForce 7800 GTX with immediate widespread availability in June, and then continued the trend with GeForce 7800 GT in August.
However, the company then tarnished its reputation for hard launches with what it said was a lack of anticipation for the demand of GeForce 7800 GTX 512.
We were impressed with the performance of Radeon X1900XT and Radeon X1900XTX, and the X1900-series CrossFire implementation was the fastest available dual-card solution available when CrossFire Xpress 3200 was released on the 1st March.

 Visiontek GeForce 3 Review - PCSTATS.com
The Visiontek Geforce 3 card layout is based almost exactly on nvidia's reference design, so the only luxury it comes with is a TV-output.
What the GeForce 2 ultra did was represent the first consumer-based video card that genuinely needed ramsinks - yes the Hercules Prophet 2 series had them but that was more of a gimmick.
With the GeForce 3, the need is no less there and the same proven cooling solutions is being utilized.

Also DOOM 3 could be off by as much as 2 years, so as incredible as this looks right now, it's probably too early to get excited.
Let's not forget that by the time Doom 3 actually comes out, NVidia will be getting set to release the GeForce 4, and the GeForce 3 will be $150 or less.
Assuming that the GeForce is about the same you can expect around a $100 price difference in for the PC versions (assuming Apple didn't jack the price up more then they did for the Radeon).

On the PC side, all of this will be made accessible through DirectX 8.0, which was mightily modified by Nvidia as part of the development work on Xbox.
The GeForce 3 also adds a new anti-aliasing system, dubbed Quincunx, which samples the image at around 3.2 times the rate of the GeForce 2 Ultra.
Bandwidth is maximised, we're told, by compressing data on the fly by a factor of four as it moves around the chip's innards.

 NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 Ultra GDDR-3 Preview
In our e-GeForce FX 5700 Ultra review, we mentioned that the GeForce FX 5700’s twin 64-bit memory controllers were unique in the sense that they supported up to 1GB of conventional DDR memory, DDR2, or GDDR-3 memory.
This is an increase of 25MHz over the original DDR-2 based GeForce FX 5700 Ultra, and allows the board to at least equal the performance of its predecessor.
So with a GeForce FX 5700 Ultra GDDR-3 reference board from NVIDIA in hand, and a fresh copy of Unreal Tournament 2004, we were curious to see how the two 5700 Ultra boards stacked up to one another.
