Visiontek Xtasy 6564

The mainstream version of the GeForce 3 has arrived, call it GeForce 3 MX if you want but the name won’t make it justice. Notice that the only difference between the Ti200 and the original GeForce 3 videocard are core and memory clocks. While the original card was default clocked at 200/460MHz (DDR), the cheaper Ti200 offers a slower core and memory running at 175/400MHz (DDR). The card came with a similar HSF and RAM heatsinks like the GF2 Ti card, the blue color gives the card an overall cool appearance, though a different PCB color would have been even better.

There isn’t much to say about the Ti200 if you already know GeForce 3 basics, now, price point is a different story. The Xtasy 6564 videocard is currently selling for about $175 which is an amazing deal if you consider you gain full DX8 support. Performance of the card will be discussed later in the article when we get to the benchmark numbers.

The big brother of the Ti200 and in this case, we can fairly call it the Ultra version of the original GeForce 3. If you were planning on upgrading to a GeForce 3 videocard before, then you will want to get the Ti500 instead, faster clock speeds at the same price.

Looking at the Xtasy 6964 board design you will notice it’s no different than the 6564, with the sole addition of the DVI port. Like we said before, think of the Xtasy 6964 as an overclocked GeForce3, running at default clock speeds of 240/500MHz; The Ti500 offers improved speeds of core and memory which results in better wider memory bandwidth and pushes the triangle per/sec. limit.

The Xtasy 6964 is the high-end card of the line selling for around $315-320; you pay for what you get. You can check our single product review of the Xtasy 6964 here.
