new video card

Mag-Mower · 2006-04-01, 07:29 PM

I am looking at getting a new, cheap video card, as the one I have really sucks. I have an x300SE-HM and am looking at an other low end card. I have been looking at the 6200-non TC, and it seems to beat the x300 in everything, and thats even when its not OC'ed. I read an article somewhere that said I could succesfuly oc the 6200 and get a bunch more FPS in some games. Should i get a 6200 and OC that, or save for a 7300, and oc that?

I dono, I'm not a fan of low end cards.

Saving for a move to a 7600 or 6600 would be my preference.

Its cheap, and I hear it OCs really well.

Try this link too, i think they differ

They're the same core, but the one on newegg has faster memory.

It seems like a decent enough card, but it's half the pixel pipes of a full up 6800GT card, so I don't know where it lands in the sceme of things. I'd check benchmarks for it especialy compared to either of these cards: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...TTR18=&ATTR19= they have more pixel pipes and near the same clock speeds, but a 128bit memory interface.
