	GeForce3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The second revisions, the GeForce3 Ti500 and Ti200 were released in October 2001, at around the same time as ATI's top-line Radeon 8500 and 7500.
		The GeForce 2 and GeForce3 lines were replaced in early 2002 by the GeForce 4 MX and Ti lines, respectively.
		Unlike most NVIDIA graphics products, the GeForce3 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.

	Frequently Asked GeForce3
		Quincunx AA is a special mode in GeForce3 where two samples are generated per fragment, but 5 samples are averaged together when filtering down, thus increasing the number of effective samples per pixel and giving higher quality than 2 sample AA with only slightly greater cost.
		GeForce3 supports four simultaneous textures with four independent texture coordinates, corresponding to the four available texture addressing operations.
		Yes, the GeForce3 has a 24 entry vertex cache (as opposed to the 16 entry cache on the GeForce and GeForce2).

	NVIDIA GeForce3 review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		GeForce3 is able to record one figure in 1, 2 or 4 resulting pixels of the frame buffer.
		You should remember that in case of the GeForce3 in Quincunx mode (the pink column) AA is equal or better than the 2X2 FSAA in case of the GeForce2 Ultra (the blue column on the diagram) in terms of quality.
		The GeForce3 with the frequency less than that of the predecessor GeForce2 Ultra (and the same pipeline architecture) could perform quite well and left 16-bit color in 3D as a part of history.

	Digital Silence - GeForce3 Information Resource
		The NVIDIA GeForce3 graphics processing unit (GPU) shakes up the gaming industry with unprecedented visual effects and sizzling frame rates—injecting life into the previously artificial world of computer-generated graphics.
		Instead of developers having to choose from the same hard-coded palette of effects and ending up with the same generic look and feel, they can specify personalized combinations of graphics operations and create their own custom effects.
		GeForce3 delivers the most visually compelling and most complete graphics experience available today.

	nV News - NVIDIA GeForce3 Preview - Multitexturing Performance
		However, the GeForce3 texture pipeline was given a boost and is capable of processing up to four textures in a single pass.
		Let's put the GeForce3 to the test by first examining the frame rate performance of the normal, or non-bump mapped, version of Evolva.
		However, performance was significantly better on the GeForce3 - especially in the multi-texturing test where the fill rate was close to double that of the GeForce2 Ultra (1,308 vs. 681 MTexels/second).

	GeForce3 Performance - THG.RU
		GeForce3 is NVIDIA's latest contender for the position as the fastest mainstream 3D-chip on the planet and besides pure power it also comes with a big set of brand new features.
		GeForce3 is using a, for 3D-cards revolutionary, new memory controller concept, that tackles the permanent memory bandwidth and latency problem of today's 3D-cards.
		GeForce3 is also equipped with a design that tries to minimize the rendering of hidden objects ("Z Occlusion Culling"), thus adding to the chips efficiency.

	GeForce3: Impressions.
		Let me reflect a little on the GeForce3: I've owned every single NVIDIA video processor (expect the GeForce2 Ultra) and by far the GeForce3 is the most impressive release yet.
		The new graphics engine on the GeForce3 is fully programmable as if it were a separate CPU - the performance and visual quality has to be seen to be believed.
		The 2D quality of the GeForce3 is much crisper and brighter than my older GeForce2 so even users who do not rely heavily on 3D graphics will benefit from the card.

	The Tech Report - NVIDIA's GeForce3 graphics processor - Page 1
		ATI remains standing, but it's not clear whether the company is gathering its strength for a renewed attack, or waiting wobbily for its knock-out punch—probably some combination of the two.
		It's also one of the most poorly named products in recent memory, because the GeForce3 name implies that this chip is a follow-on to the previous GeForce chips.
		In reality, GeForce3 is a completely new graphics chip that initiates a novel approach to real-time 3D graphics.

	GeForce3 FAQ
		GeForce3 has faster DDR SDRAM (3.8ns) than the GeForce2 Ultra (4.0ns).
		GeForce3 consumes no more power than the original GeForce 256 core did (15W) at the chip level, and boards built with GeForce3 will consume substantially less power than the maximum defined by the AGP specification.
		NVIDIA expects boards to be in the neighborhood of $599, while consumers at present may preorder one at a price of $529.

	Review: Hercules 3D Prophet III GeForce3 video card
		Both of these card flavours have, as a matter of course, a phalanx of imposing looking heat sinks on their RAM chips, as well as a heat-sink-and-fan cooler for the main chip.
		When I overclocked the Pixelview GeForce3 (review here), I found that the biggest frame rate gain I could get from a 525MHz RAM overclock (14% faster than the stock 460MHz) was about 8%.
		The GeForce3 certainly is a howling fast pixel-flinger that does what the GeForce2 does only considerably faster.

	X-bit labs - Articles - NVIDIA GeForce3 Voltage Tweaking and Extreme Overclocking
		According to the specs, the DDR SDRAM chips used on GeForce3 are powered with two voltages: 3.3V for all the internal circuits and 2.5V for the input-output buffers.
		The trouble is that GeForce3 chips surface is a concave and it's hard to dissipate the heat from this concave metal spot.
		And those of you who would like their GeForce3 to run faster and are not afraid of risks could try to repeat our experiment.

	The Force is with us! nVidia's GeForce3 graphics chip is here
		On MadOnion.com's 3DMark2001, a benchmark based on DirectX 8.0, the GeForce3 reference card posted an average score of 4,311, versus 2,696 for a GeForce2 Ultra board (the Creative 3D Blaster Annihilator 2 Ultra), and 2,796 for the ATI Radeon 64MB, at 32-bit color depth and a resolution of 1,024 by 768.
		In a surprise move last month, nVidia announced the GeForce3 at Macworld Tokyo, stating that it would first be available as a $600 upgrade on the Power Mac G4 desktops.
		The key problem facing GeForce3 is that while Microsoft DirectX 8.0 may have materialized, games based on the technology are still a mirage.

	Review: Prolink PixelView XX-Player GeForce3 graphics card
		And this GeForce3, the Prolink PixelView XX-Player, sold here in Australia by Best Buy Computers, should be retailing for a mere $AU849 by the time you read this (it's $879 at the time of writing, but Best Buy tell me the price will drop very shortly).
		The GeForce3 also has a more efficient memory controller architecture, with four separate 32 bit memory controllers instead of the single 128 bit one in the GeForce2.
		Of course, if you buy a GeForce3 right now and wait for software that supports it, what you'll have during the waiting period is a card that doesn't yet beat considerably cheaper cards by a very great deal, and whose resale value is plunging at the spectacular rate that is the way of computer hardware.

	X-bit labs - Articles - NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti500 and Ti200 Based Graphics Cards Extreme Overclocking
		The resistance ratio of resistors determining the GeForce3 Ti200 Vcore is 130Ohm/770Ohm with the Vcore equal to 1.46V.
		ASUS V8200 T2 (GeForce3 Ti200) based graphics card has no 2.5V Vmem regulator, so all the memory circuits are powered at 3.3V, in spite of the manufacturer's specs reading clearly that the memory chips should be power at two voltages: 3.3V +/-0.3V and 2.5V +/- 0.2V.
		GeForce3 Ti200 card overclocked to the maximum breaks a trifle ahead of GeForce3 Ti500 working in nominal mode, but it's only thanks to the relatively high graphics memory frequency.

	Palit Daytona GeForce3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Today the most powerful video cards (the ATI R200 is, however, coming very soon, and NVIDIA GeForce3 may compete against it only with the help of reduced prices) have an entirely identical design based on the NVIDIA's one among all Asian card makers who bother about only different PCB color and different logotypes or stickers.
		The Palit Daytona GeForce3 has every chance for success because its price is not high, and because it follows the reference design which means highly reliable operation.
		Well, the card is worth dealing with, but you should remember that the cooler should be replaced with a more powerful one, and that among the accessories there is only one CD with drivers.

	[H] Enthusiast - GeForce3 HRAA High Resolution Anti Aliasing
		Certainly one of the things the GeForce3 has brought to the table is High Resolution Anti-Aliasing, or HRAA, as NVIDIA calls it.
		We have had the VisionTek GeForce3 on the test bench for about five days now.
		Assuming that we have a GeForce3 with even 64Megs of memory on the card, you can still see where this operation requires a tremendous amount of memory.

		The GeForce3 Ti 200 was the low end variant or somewhat comparable to the GeForce2 MX during its time while the GeForce3 Ti 500 is the souped up GeForce3 or just like a GeForce2 Ultra.
		The GeForce3 Ti 500 is in a totally different league and might not be that affordable to many.
		Their GeForce3 Ti 200 comes in a sleek looking fl PCB, a smaller version of a blue orb for the heatsink on the core and mean looking RAMsinks on top of the memory.

	GeForce3 Frequently Asked Questions
		The SDRAM used on the GeForce3 is rated at 3.8ns, which translates to a maximum of 263MHz DDR (526MHz).
		In regard to the GPU of GeForce3, TandL current benchmarking results (Ref 3) show that GeForce3 GPU runs TandL faster than a Pentium4 1.5GHz when overclocked to 1.8MHz.
		These two technologies amplify the bandwidth of the GeForce3 by increasing the efficiency of the memory bandwidth offered by the frame buffer, and by avoiding accessing the frame buffer altogether for pixels that would not be visible.

	nV News - eVGA e-GeForce3 Review
		It's easy to see that the GeForce3 has had quite a colorful past few months, and the future seems just as conflict filled with the arrival of ATI's Direct X 8.1 counterpart, the Radeon 8500 as well as NVIDIA's own performance enhancing Detonator 4 drivers.
		For a paltry 350 dollars, they were offering their GeForce3 based product with an enticing goodie; they would replace your e-GeForce3 with NVIDIA's next-generation product once it would become available and they would only charge you the difference in price between the e-GeForce3 and it's successor.
		With the performance of every GeForce3 available varying only slightly between manufacturers, each must stride to set themselves apart from the rest of the pack.

		Dubbed "GeForce3 Titanium 500", it's one bad mammajamma with a score to settle.
		Nvidia doesn't call the GeForce3 Titanium 500 (or Ti500 for short) a "GeForce 3 Ultra".
		After all, developers are still struggling to implement features from the GeForce3 (and maybe some from the GeForce2!).

	Testing the G4/733 with GeForce3 vs Radeon vs G4/500 Dual CPU
		For pro-3D apps users, I'm sad to say that the Geforce3 (tested with the 2.1 and also the 2.1.1 drivers) has the same problems in Lightwave 3D as the MX card did with the 1.1.1, 2.0 and 2.1 drivers.
		The GeForce3 Mac version is assumed to have the same clock speeds as the retail PC versions - 200Mhz core clock, 230MHz memory clock.
		I don't have the full company claimed resolution listings for the GeForce3, but ATI's full range of resolutions on the Radeon are listed on the hardware/specs page of my fall 2000 review.

	Going after GeForce3: ZDNet Australia: Reviews: Hardware: System Components
		Assisted by Nvidia's Lightspeed Memory Architecture and crossbar memory controllers, the GeForce3 is an easy winner in our benchmark tests when compared against a GeForce2 card.
		The controllers' ability to communicate with the GPU and among themselves hack away at the memory bottleneck that forms when transferring graphic data into the frame buffer.
		This advantage may disappear with the next iteration of Nvidia drivers, though Asus claims that the drivers it submitted were specifically modified for the additional features (3D glasses and video-in) on the V8200 Deluxe.

		That doesn't mean 3D Blaster GeForce3 is made by a company named 3D Blaster and the PixelView GeForce3 is made by some manufacturer called PixelView.
		Better isolating the circuits on the board with two additional layers of PCB reduces interference from other components in the PC and allows for higher clock speeds to be achieved.
		The Prolink PixelView GeForce3 Ti200 is somewhat of a standard Ti200 card, but the reference design from nVIDIA has been improved by adding heatsinks on the memory chips and a fan on the chip heatsink.

		That was until ATi unleashed their answer to the GeForce3, which they called the Radeon 8500.
		The new Ti200 is a budget GeForce3 card if there is such a thing, basically it offers performance close to that of a GeForce3 but at a much cheaper price.
		With a 20% higher core speed and a 9% increase in memory speeds the GeForce3 Ti500 is certainly going to be the fastest graphics card NVIDIA has developed to date.
