GeForce3 Ti Performance Testing

With everyone being anxious to see the performance of the new GeForce3 Ti based products. From just looking at the numbers, you might be inclined to think that the new Ti products are not much better than the older offering of GeForce3 and GeForce2 products. However, there are some fundamental differences. The important thing to remember when testing high performance graphics adapters is not their absolute numbers on paper, but how they perform in the real world. So, with this in mind, here is a quick look at the cards involved in this test:
