Is Geforce6200 with TC better than the non-Tc version?
Why?
GeForce 6200 is the entry-level graphics chip family from nVidia for the PCI Express bus, competing directly with Radeon X300 and the new Radeon X1300 families from ATI.
->The main problem with GeForce 6200 family is the quantity of different memory configurations that you can find in the market.
->First, we have the “regular� model and the “TurboCache� model, which “steals� memory from the main system RAM to be used as video memory.
->Secondly, the memory interface can be of 128 bits or 64 bits or even 32 bits in some extreme cases. Also, the board manufacturer can set the memory clock as they wish, as nVidia doesn’t set a standard clock rate for GeForce 6200.
->So, there are several different kinds of GeForce 6200 in the market and it is really hard for the regular user to know the differences between them.
->A GeForce 6200 from manufacturer A can be a completely different product compared to GeForce 6200 from manufacturer B.
->This is really a hassle, since you may choose a GeForce 6200 because you were satisfied by the performance of the PC of a friend or relative and also order a GeForce 6200, to discover later that you got a totally different board, with totally different performance.
Leadtek, for example, carries seven different GeForce 6200 models:
WinFast A6200 TDH: 128 MB, 64-bit, chip running at 350 MHz, memory running at 500 MHz, AGP
WinFast A6200 TD: 128 MB, 128-bit, chip running at 300 MHz, memory running at 550 MHz, AGP
WinFast PX6200 TD: 128 MB, 128-bit, chip running at 300 MHz, memory running at 550 MHz, PCI Express
WinFast PX6200 TC TDH 64 MB on-board: TurboCache, 64 MB, 32-bit, chip running at 300 MHz, memory running at 550 MHz, PCI Express
WinFast PX6200 TC TDH 128 MB on-board: TurboCache, 128 MB, 64-bit, chip running at 300 MHz, memory running at 550 MHz, PCI Express
WinFast PX6200 TC TDH supporting 128 MB: TurboCache, 16 MB, 32-bit, chip running at 350 MHz, memory running at 700 MHz, PCI Express
WinFast PX6200 TC TDH supporting 256 MB: TurboCache, 32 MB, 64-bit, chip running at 350 MHz, memory running at 550 MHz, PCI Express
Out of these take only GeForce 6200 with 128 MB and 128-bit interface from Leadtek (WinFast PX6200TD) Price : Rs 4000(exact).
Its equalent to Geforce 6600 with just a small difference in fps.
