Whats with the geforce 6500?

[Lord-Ilpolazzo]

Im just curious about exactly what the geforce 6500 is, and its performance relative to the 6200 and 6600. I have been looking around for more information on it, but its not mentioned very often. It seems to be based on the NV44 core, and lack a decent ammount of VRAM, but i cant find a 6500 on the VGA charts, although other cards seem to share the same chip...

Who care? It's just going to be another budget card the you'll probably end up replacing after a year because of poor performance. Just save up the extra case to buy a GPU that in the range of $125 - $175 that will last you longer than just one year.

A budget card now will be a crap card next year. A mainstream card will be a budget card next year.
