Ok, so I have a Nvidia 5600 Ultra in my gaming rig, and a Nvidia 6200 was just given to me. Should I put the 6200 in the gaming rig and the 5600 Ultra in the DVR, or the other way around. They both seem to have the same video outputs, but which one is better for gaming?
 
it depends
If the 6200 has 128 bit memory bus then it will be faster than the 5600 ultra, otherwise the 5600 ultra will be slightly quicker untill it comes to the new shader heavy games.
See if u can overclock the memory on the 6200, cause mine old 6200 had 64bit memory bus, but i could overclock it by 40% on the mem which made it considerably quicker.

Overall in newer games the 6200 should be quicker than the 5600 ultra, even if the 6200 is 64bit. (well mine 6200 was similar speed to the fx5700 with out overclocking the 6200)
 
Well give it a try and see if ucan overclock the ram.
Do a few benches, i still recon that 6200 will be better in newer games, and thats not sying much as it will still be quite slow. (older non dx 9 games will prolly run better on the 5600, but then again both of them should play em fine.)
 
Well, the only "modern" game I play right now is battlefield 2. The next best is Tiger woods 2005. I'll install the card tonite prob. I'm going to put it in the Vista box. Thanks guys
