New Graphics Card

GCFreak · December 25th, 2005

Legend™ GeForce 6200 256MB/DDR2 AGP8X

That's right, I got a new video card. Which goes by the name above.
I can see a HUGE difference, My games are finally pretty! I know you guys will say it's not worth it, but it is to me.
A very merry christmas indeed!

Yeah it is worth.
I got a 6200 myself, runs all the games i play really beautifull.
Merry X-mas to you too. Now you just need to update your sig...

GCFreak · December 25th, 2005

I know, which I just did.

Here's a cookie.

**General Plot** · December 25th, 2005

Yeah, I've gotta say, the 6200 surprised me as far as how well it performs. It won't keep up with a 6600GT, but it's definitely still a good card.

gtjr_ph · December 26th, 2005

thats good

ViperXtreme · December 26th, 2005

from what card did you upgrade from?

**Prafull** · December 26th, 2005

Looks like 6200 is the best bet in the low range cards.
Lets see if I get this or can wait for 6600 prices to come down.

Anyway, congratulations on the new card.

**hushypushy** · December 26th, 2005

hmm, i got the 6800, which is much better than the 6200, last christmas

but hey better than nothing for ya, i guess

2nd that...

a 7800GTX is only worth bragging rights

Master Chief · December 26th, 2005

Not bad. I'd like to see it run Quake 4 at 1280x1024. My 6600GT is serving me(and has been) great! I love my new LCD monitor. 19" Viewsonic VP930b connected via DVI. Everything is so beautiful, and I love how the native resolution is 1280x1024. You should overclock it. See how far you can push it.

**ChaosCode** · December 26th, 2005

I just bought my gf a 5500 gf for her computer so we can play games together. so what do u guys think, 5500 or a 9700 pro. whats better?

I upgraded from a cheap Chaintech GeForce4 MX 440 64MB 128-bit SDRAM.

@ChaosCode: the 9700 Pro is better but oh well. At least you two can play against each other.

Mad · December 26th, 2005

Forgot to ask.
Its memory is 64 or 128-bit?
You can know by using rivatuner.

GCFreak · December 26th, 2005

@mad: It's 64-bit.

@Master Chief: First I'll get better cooling, then I'll overclock it. Even though the card tops 40*C in games :P

Mad · December 26th, 2005

I wont be OCing my card.
But ill try to unlock those extra 4 pipelines...

**refraction** · December 27th, 2005

I bought myself a nice PCI Express Radeon X800 GT today, thought i needed a new card too.

now i just need to find out if i can unlock more than 8 pipelines on it... (its the R423 chip if anyone knows :P)

**FLaRe85** · December 27th, 2005

I was getting 7532 in 3DMark 05 running my 7800GT at stock settings (470mhz). I O/Ced it just a bit to 500mhz and it made a considerable difference.

My cpu is an X2 4400+ and I saved myself ~$500 by simply O/Cing it to 4800+ speeds. As long as your cooling is decent, I'd consider O/Cing worth it.
