When we look closely at the board it's basically the same design as the normal GeForce3, some small modifications to the PCB have been made likely to ensure better performance. But what is the biggest difference between a GeForce3 and GeForce3 Ti 500 ? Basically clockspeed and higher memory bandwidth.

When we do a small calculation we notice that the Ti 500 has a whoopass ((2x128bit) x 250MHz) : 8bit  = 8000 MB/sec  !! memory bandwidth, combine this with a faster clocked Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and you have the fastest and versatile consumer videocard to date.
