i don't usually write about hardware cause it's not my speciality
but this looks like very good news for all the pc gamers with small
budgets like myself
nvidia will make a agp version of the geforce 6200 so we can upgrade
without having to spend too much although they say it will have a
price of 80 dollars which is almost 2 times what a 5200 costs, so i
hope it will be at least 2 times faster

what is the ati agp model with the same price, 80 dollars and is it
better than the 6200?

with 80 dollars what agp graphic card would you buy to play pc games?

2x cost does NOT mean 2x faster. Hell, it doesn't even always mean faster
at all, sometimes newer video cards perform worse than older models which
cost less money. A Geforce 6200 will probably be about 35-50% faster than a
5200 depending on the game.

Make sure that 6200 is not the "TurboCache" version, that version uses your
system RAM and it's much slower. Where did you see a 6200 agp for $80? The
cheapest I found was $125 at pricewatch.

An equivalent (and slightly faster) ATI card to the GeForce 6200 is the
Radeon 9600 Pro (agp), which goes for around $100.

Good luck. I personally recommend spending a bit more and getting the
Radeon 9800 Pro 128, AGP. You can get them for around $180.

But if I absolutely had to stay under $100, I'd go with either the Radeon
9600 Pro or the GeForce 6200 (if indeed you can find it for $80 that sounds
like a bargain, but BE SURE IT IS NOT THE TURBOCACHE VERSION).

I'm downloading my next video card through Steam. Hopefully one day you'll
be able to upgrade your entire computer through Steam.

How about a nice GeForceFX 5900 for $120?

i would not mind waiting six months for a 80 dollar 6600 graphic card
but i'm afraid of power supply requirements that's one of the reasons
i would prefer a 6200 cause i would not need to change power supply
cause it has to need less power than a 6600

aren't the geforce 5 family weaker than the ati 9600?
isn't the ati 9600 the same price?

i always though manufactures stoped manufacturing old models so they
can sell the new one for much more, which is a shame but i guess they
are a business and want to take the max out of investment, so i dont
blame them

i don't know if the way to go is for the 2nd hand market, but i was
always afraid to buy hardware in the 2nd hand market cause you never
know if it has one of those extremely hard to find defects which only
happen once in a while

i've read turbocache is only for the pci express cards but i only have
agp in my motherboard so i guess i don't need to worry about that

it was in the news... it was about a 6800 with 512 and the 6200 for agp
and for the 6200 for agp it said it would be $79 but unfortunately they
didn't talk about how much memory or what the card brand was... i truly
hope the price is right

so the 6200 is a better deal if the price is about 80 dollars

that's 100 dollars more...
i was thinking when will it be required for pc games to have shader 3.0
and 256 of memory? probably only in 5 years time... and by that time i
would change pc and not only the graphic card, so if the 9800 would have
a lower price of... about 120 it would be the ideal deal no?

i can't be sure... but i though turbocache was only for pci express, but
probably i must be carefull... and as for the memory obviously more than
128 of memory is wasting money right?

No. The 5900 and 5900 ultra are in the same ballpark as the 9800 and 9800
pro. The 5900(non XT) is slightly better than the 9800.Not quite as fast as
the 9800 pro.

the graphic card or upgrade also mb + cpu + mem
