I just bought this card off ebay and was wondering if the PNY series of video cards are pretty good as far as stability and performance go??

Yeah PNY cards are very stable and have not heard any bad things about them thus far. -
I own a PNY Verto Geforce3 Ti200 and I have had no problems with it whatsoever, it is a very stable card and I would reccomend the series itself to everyone who asks :]Comment

Thanks for the responses! I was at first thinking of purchasing a geforce 4 Ti card, but it is a tad out of my pricerange! I got this card used for 96.00 off ebay...pretty good deal I think, for a PNY!Here are my specs:

Well, there are GeForce Ti cards for like $120. Nvidia basicly has a GeForce 4 for everyone from high end (expensive) to the lower end but still good (pretty cheap).Originally posted by webe3Comment

I bought the PNY Ti200 in January for $199. At the time, the Radeon 8500 was $299. Now, The Radeon has been bought by me for $149 Retail version, and it is quite a bit faster than the Ti200, and the Catalyst drivers do what they say....it screams!
Anyway, now that prices are down getting an ATi card is ok, but if I could find an NVidia card at a lower price I would get that instead. The PNY is an excellent choice I might add.
If you want a Great NVidia graphics card you should look into getting a Gainward 'Golden Sample'. They are overclocked right from the factory and kick ass. Even the Gainward GeForce4 MX 650 Pro-TV Golden Sample (Mx 440 on steroids) is a great choice sans the Pixel/Vertex shaders, and gets a 5 star rating in most reviews.:hammer:Comment
