Title: 6200, 6600 and 6600 GT
Post by: MANDO on June 05, 2005, 02:52:09 PM

I've just checked a shop nearby (this shop is not famous by its cheap prices) and prices have little sense (min - max):

6200A 256 MB AGP (117€ - 148€)
6600 256MB AGP 179€
6600GT 128MB AGP (215€ - 249€)
6600GT 256MB AGP 299€

Is 6600GT much better than 6600, and this much better than 6200?

The 6200 is a cheap, underperforming POS and no one in their right mind would use it for gaming.  I've read several tests on them, none have been good.  Its an experiment using the general public as guinea pigs (makes me think someone at Nvidia used to work for Microsoft).  And yes, the 6600GT is considerably better than the plain Jane 6600.

Here's a link to the Tom's Hardware writeup on the 6200 TC.
