Announcement 3 - Windows XP support

It supports both a complete set of 2D features
necessary for normal acceleration of the Windows XP, and a new 2D
API Microsoft GDI+ on a lower level. It provides fast image building
and a more effective usage of hardware acceleration. The GDI+ is
an attempt to overcome the architectural drawbacks of the API. Besides,
it contains several new possibilities such as gradient shading.

Cards

I will introduce only the GeForce3 Ti500 since
only this one has an increased frequency relative to the GeForce3.
Operation of the GeForce3 Ti200 was emulated also on it with the
frequencies decreased to 175/200 (400) MHz. Operation of the GeForce2
Ti was estimated on the Leadtek WinFast GeForce2 Ultra video card
with the memory frequency decreased to 200 (400) MHz.

The reference NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti500 card has AGP
x2/x4 interface, 64 MB DDR SDRAM located in 8 chips on the
right side of the PCB.

The memory works at 250 (500) MHz. The memory chips
are covered with traditional heatsinks. The frequency of the memory
is lower than the rated one according, obviously, to the recommendations
of makers of such a fast memory. But I hope it will be possible
to overclock it up to the rated speed according to the access time.

The GPU works at 240 MHz. It is not a considerable
increase, but taking into account that GeForce3 cards are well balanced,
the performance gain should be quite large. If you look through
our related reviews and 3Digest
you will see that the GeForce3 was already overclocked up to 255/280
(560) MHz. This is higher than the Ti500 is able to give. There
are also a lot of GeForce3 cards which can operate at over 240/250
(500) MHz.

The GeForce3 Ti500 looks very close to the reference
card, but there are some differences:

The most considerable changes are made near the
VGA connector:

On the left you can see the GeForce3 Ti500 card
and on the right is the GeForce3 one. At the expense of a different
core feeding unit a logic set which controls 2D quality (filters
