Title: difference noticable?
Post by: stucool on April 05, 2008, 08:42:48 PM

Is there a big difference in a nvidea fx 5200 and a nvidea 6200 as far as gaming performance?

A simple search on Goggle and I found these (first result):

http://www.nvidia.com/page/fx_5200.html
http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce6200_agp.html

According to the specs, the 6200 is slightly better than 5200.

I did a little investigating and found some of the 6200s have 256mb and others have 512mb. Some have a core clock speed of 300 MHz and others have 350MHz. so there is a pretty big difference in the same card. 

It should be a little faster, but hardly worth spending any money on it IMHO

The 6200, as long as you don't get the TurboCache or LE versions, is a better card than the FX5200, without doubt.
Not only is the performance better, but it supports more recent technologies such as Shader Model 3.0 vs 2.0 on the FX lineup.
