master_mtz Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 hi guys ..i need an urgent help .. i want to buy a cheap VGA card .. what do u recomend me to Buy ... an FX or gfroce 6200 ??and what r the kinds of the Gfroce 6200 i mean i the modelsand which brand is the best (MSI, XFX , PixelView,...)waiting answers
emodel Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I have an MSI 6200, bought it cos its fanless and performs well (better than 5200 i think, but has to be confirmed).This said, i only play Nascar2003 and a few games from that time period, and mainly emulators...(still, you can play far cry and HL2 with descent performance)
Aegis Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Any 6200 will beat the 5200. The GeForce 5 family is considered one of Nvidia's worst GFX family, so I wouldn't recommend buying it. Also 5200 performs similar to a GeForce 2, so if you really want one...
master_mtz Posted January 8, 2006 Author Posted January 8, 2006 i don't think FX is that badit is still supporting Hardware shaders 2.0 and it is running MOST wanted with full Details with great performance
Sn4k36 Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I'm kinda a cheap person myself so i bought myself the BFG geforce 5500 128mb card.. An the card is already OC'ed from the standard 270mhz core to 290mhz. Which isn't bad for $119 cnd.. If i had a bank account i could have gotten a 6600GT for $148cnd
Vitalix Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Unless you're getting one from a friend for $35, I'd spend a little extra for the 6600GT. 6600GT is still a nextgen card and has 8 pipelines, if I'm not mistaken. The 52/62 will be obsolete with the next generation of games (unless you play at 800x600 without any details at all - and if that's the case then go XBOX or Playstation!).
nmX.Memnoch Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Agreed on the 6600 but if you're really on a budget then the 6200 will definitely be better than a 5200.
master_mtz Posted January 9, 2006 Author Posted January 9, 2006 thx a lot guys 100% percent for 6200 .... recomonding a 6600 ...nice
ChrisX64 Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 One additional note - make sure you don't get fooled into getting a "TurboCache" card - there is nothing "Turbo" about them .
nmX.Memnoch Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 The TurboCache model is only available for PCI Express models. If he was trying to decide between a 5200 and a 6200 odds are that he was looking at AGP cards.
puntoMX Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) Also, look for the 128 bit version!, both the 6200 and 6600 have 64 bit versions that suck a** when it comes to speed. The difference between them will only be 20 CAD$ but when you play games it will be a bigger difference Give us the link from the store and the budged you have, we will help you out,..

master_mtz Posted January 12, 2006 Author Posted January 12, 2006 infact , i am not buying it from an online store ... i will buy it from a computer shop ....please guys .. could u tell me more about turbo cahce ?? what is it ?? and is it good or bad thing ??
