6200 512MB

[zerocool84]

i didnt think this was real but i guess it is, isn't that a waste of a lot of ram? HA all you 7800GTX owners, that little 6200 has more ram, it'll run Doom 3 @ hi-settings

 

[Amplifier]

I bet 7800gtx owners feel real stupid now!

No it won't.

At 800x600 Ultra high setting maybe.

LMAO!

well, it is sort of stupid putting this much RAM on a card like this, but then again, I guess there are people stupid enough to buy it...

Oh gawd...

 

[WhoKnowsWho]

Yeah, wasn't this card mentioned in the Anandtech news or someone elses news as "Just because it makes it to the shelves, doesn't mean it was a good idea example"?

 

[ElFenix]

you can run windows vista at 1600x1200 8x fsaa!

 

[aatf510]

At least they could put it on cards that have even the slightest chance of using it.

 

[dguy6789]

You know what would be cool? It would be cool if your system could use the memory on the video card that is free as regular ram.

The entire point is not to. Dupes consumers this way.

ohh ima buy two and run them in SLI!

 

[mwmorph]

I'd like to know where all those ramchips fit. It is a low profile card after all.

You can't. It's AGP and the 6200 series doesn't support SLI.

 

[Peter]

Slow RAM is cheap. That's about all that makes sense about this product.

its agp.

 

[Schadenfroh]

As i predicted, the first to use 512mb would be a card like this.

 

[gac009]

I know its agp and that the 6200 dose not support sli.
about once a year Ill try to make a joke, never really works. p

Yeah maybe someone could reverse engineer TurboCache. It would probably be fast too.

 

[knyghtbyte]

i dont think this is done with games in mind...lol....

more like business application, allows you to run a very large display for presentations etc and in a way that doesnt take ages for it to load up the screens etc....

It wouldnt really run Doom3 very well, it could load the full texture sets, but they wouldnt have the cexy effects as the 6200 doesnt handle the graphics stuff that a 6600 or 6800 can....and it would run like treacle...lol

 

[Drayvn]

Maybe nVidia bought to many 512mb RAM for their cards and this was the only way to get rid of em

 

[mwmorph]

what do you mean? ram comes in 16-32meg chips

 

[BillyBobJoel71]

smack 512 mb to a geforce 5200, and keep the price under 100, and people will buy it over the 128/256 mb versions, not to mention the 512 is running at 250 mhz as opposed to 400.
