14 Nov 2019 - Graphics card reviewed

Based on current gaming requirements the GeForce 3 is considered one of the weakest cards and wont meet modern AAA game specs. Capable of running games with up to a DirectX 8 requirement.

How many years will the GeForce 3 graphics card play newly released games and how long until you should consider upgrading the GeForce 3 in your PC? You should definitely consider replacing this GeForce 3 graphics card, if it is still in your gaming PC.

Whats a good PC graphics upgrade for the GeForce 3? Are you looking to upgrade a GeForce 3? Then we would suggest getting a 16 Series GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB, as it can run 899 of the top 1000 demanding game requirements today with 7962% increased graphics performance. An alternative great upgrade graphics card would be a RX 5000 Series Radeon RX 5500 4GB, which has 5824% better performance and can run 683 of the top 1000 demanding game requirements today.

GeForce 3 Game Requirement Analysis

GeForce 3 is a very old GPU part of the GeForce 3 Series released by NVIDIA in 2001.
It only supports DirectX up to 8.1 so even DirectX 9 games are most likely unplayable.
That being said, the 64MB video memory and very low core clock doom its performance from the start. Therefore, almost all today's games are unplayable, even at the lowest settings.
