Why would some one buy a Ge Force 6600 when he can get a Ge Force 6200GE

Cause their specs are;

GeForce 6200
Video Memory 128 MB DDR
Engine Clock 300MHz
Memory Clock 550 MHz(275MHz DDR)
RAMDAC 400MHz
Bus Standard AGP 8x/4X
Memory Interface 128-bit


GeForce 6600
Video Memory 128 MB DDR
Engine Clock 300MHz
Memory Clock 550 MHz(275MHz DDR)
RAMDAC 400MHz
Bus Standard AGP 8x/4X
Memory Interface 128-bit

Is there any other parameters to check when buying a VGA ??

6600 have 8 pipelines 3 vertex shaders. 6200s have 4 pipelines and 2 vertex shaders(not so clear on vertex shaders for 6200 though). either way, a 6200 is stil ltherotically only 1/2 as fast as a 6600. you'd need a 600core/500memory 6200 to compete with a 300 core/500 memory 6600 if both use 128bit. now if ti was 64bit 6200 v.s. 128bit 6600, then you'd need 600/1000 to compete.

Yeah, a 6200 only has 4 pixel pipes while a 6600 has 8. Never heard of a "ge" before though.

6600 would be beeter than 6200 in any case......

Why you ask??

the 6200 even being overclocked will not even be as nice as a 6600, the bigest diference is the pipelines are doubled on the 6600. That is why.

I just don't like the term 'GE' on a graphics card. It really doesn't scream fast, but instead maybe sloer than the original 6200.

GE? Sounds too much like LE and SE, which automatically mean the graphics card is sh*t.
