6200q |
|
|
Hi.
I am looking for a new vid card, now wanting to spend more than AUD$175.00.
My prime target a few moths ago was a Radeon 9800 Pro however it has been
suggested to me that I would be better off with an X700 or an Nvidia 6200GF.
I've never had an Nvidia card, and I can't find any reviews for the 6200GF.
Anyone here got any thoughts on it, or one similarly priced?
I currently run a 2600XP AMD, 512Mb DDR400, MSI mobo, 400wPSU and use an
8500Pro. |

Not sure how much prices are on VGA cards down there, but for
that price you can get something like a 6600GT here in the US. If the
6200 is the best you can get for that price, make sure you get a 6200
with 128-bit memory bus.
Nvidia reconfigured the AGP 6200s with a native AGP chip that
didn't require the HSI bridge chip. This made it alot cheaper, but
also weakened it into a 64-bit POS.
I didn't know ATI had made AGP versions of the X700. I can't
find many reviews of it, but here's one that shows it coming in behind
the 6600GT. Looks to be as good as a standard 6600.

If you can't afford an Nvidia 6600GT, I'd get the ATI X700
AGP, or a standard 6600 (make sure it has 128-bit memory bus) before
I'd mess with a 6200. |
