Graphic Cards XFX 6200 AGP review.

Its is better than the 5700le when u enable dx9.0(by as much as 4 times)though that is to be expected.Slightly better than 9550 but less capable than the 9600pro.
Though the 64-bit bus defenitely hurts a lot in doom3 and some other games.
If only it were 128-bit I would have a reson to sell my 5700le oced to 425/505 right now.
Unless I enable DX9.0 in HL2 there won't be much improvement for me in present games. :no:
I would laso have liked if they compared all cards at thier overclocked maximums.
 
Guys....halfway thru....looks like its a better card than 5700le (the othr option) ...but its 64-bit...nd also 256mb....so wat say...
nd whts the geforce 6200 agp nv43 core...is tht available?? or is it nvidia's reference...??
 
Man if it were the NV43 based 6200 I would buy it NOW.Coz it can be modded to a 6600 very very easily and then overclocked to atleast 400/600.Not to mention it is 128-bit to boot.
Someguy was selling the leadtek one(the NV43L hopefully) online for about 7.2k on TA,though there was a 4 week wait and I presume advance payment.
 
yup...andy on TA ...leadtech personel
So wud a 256mb card be 64-bit too??
Also isnt it worth over a 5700le??...i mean if buying rite now
 
Its better than 5700le esp. at stock.But its still far too crippled to justify a price of 6.5k.
I wud rather still wait for a 128-bit 6200/vanilla 6600 agp as it will be much much faster than this one.
Considering that the 5700le does 425/500 easily,it will be a small improvement over the 5700le in terms of overclocked performance.But it will be better if its a straight choice between the two notably can run HL2 in DX9 mode which u can't with the 5700.
On the other hand a true 128-bit 6200 ,even if very slightly oc'ed to 400/600 will blow away a 9600xt with ease.
PS:yes unlike the 5700 and 6600-based 6200(NV43L),the NV44a core has only a
64-bit bus even on 256mb versions of the card(chipset limitation since its based on 6200TC core and not upto mfg.),and more importantly the 256mb version will have slower ram so I think if u must get this card get the 128mb one.
