In terms of DirectX7 performance the GeForce2 Ti can
compete with the big guns even at stock. When overclocked, it's even better! Let's take a look at how the card
fairs with the newer and more advanced 3DMark2001...

Here, the GeForce2 Ti is only faster then the GTS not surprisingly. Still, it's probably the best value
card of the bunch. Oc'ing however doesn't really seem to give that much
of a performance boost. Here's another synthetic, Vulpine's GLMark

Again, being based on older technology, the Ti isn't even close to the Radeon8500
let alone the GeForce3. Also, it's not that much faster then the GTS! =( However,
enough with synthetics, let's see some REAL WORLD games.

It's obvious here that we're all CPU limted here. Still, at this resolution,
the Ti can comete with the GeForce3 quite easily. Does this trend contine when
the resolution is cranked up?

Even though Serious Sam the 2nd Encounter is on the works, this game can still stress cards quite a bit!
The Ti just doesn't have enough horsepower to keep up with the GeForce3 however,
because of ATI's lack of driver support, the Ti can compete with a far
superior 8500 at every resolution here. Here's everyone's favorate OpenGL benchmark...

the stock!

As the resolution is turned up higher and
higher, the the Ti can compete up to 1024x768 which is a nice resolution. After that, it just isn't powerful
enough. Even being about 2 years old, it's amazing Quake III can tax a
videocard so much! Next up is a game based on the Quake III
engine, tweaked for the outdoors scene.
