use riva tuner . slowly increase the gpu core speed ( say 5 mhz or 10 mhz a time) . same for the mem frequency . . run a stress test like 3dmark . u cud also use ATI tool . it OCs and runs stress tests . once u get errors , then revert back .

Use riva tuner and if your card shows that it is 128 bit version(i supose your card is agp based) then you can unmask four pipelines using riva tuner and presto you get performance equivalent to the 6600.

Unlocking pipelines which have not passed the stress test conducted by nvidia might even damage the card making it useless.

I have a 6200 TC. can anyone give me a rewiew of it? a digit issue which ifirst buyed( i don't remember the month but it is in 2006) showed that it has only 128 ram but when i opened dxdiag, it showed that i have 256mb ram (i dunno wheather it is DDR, Gddr or something else). How does this happen?

u got TC
TC stands 4 Turbo Cache
means dat it uses part of ur sys memory also 4 performance so d 256 it is showing is d total RAM allocated 2 d GPU [incl sys RAM]

don't quote riva tuner warnings directly ,although pipeline unlocking may be dangerous but as of what I have read on the net there have been no negative instances so far in the case of 6200.Moreover since the guy does not have an agp version on which the above can be done so no point discussing this further.

Its not like that ! Not all 6200s can be pipeline unlocked.It was possible in some versions as nvidia used some downgraded 6600 core chips to meet the upsurged demand of 6200 early on.But now the newer cores comes with only 4 pipelines so theres is nothing to unlock.

Anyway if the card has a NV43 core with A1 or A2 revision it can be pipeline unlocked and witha bit of overclocking it will be same as vanilla 6600

On the other hand 6200 non tc has a huge overclok potential.Its a very good overclocker indeed.I used riva tuner and got a stable 425/625 in my sparkle 6200 ultra (normal was 350/533) with no cooling.Bosost in games was apprx 15% although it was still not enough for neo-modern games..it can hardly run it bit its still pretty good for running vista

---------------
Although overclocking in 6200 is softlocked in all latest nvidia drivers I think.I have to used an old 84.xx driver just for the sake of overclocking in xp. For vista Driver 100.xx overclocked beautifully but form 15x.xx series its again softlocked.Eevn 1 mhz increase is stalling my system So I am sticking with the older driver.

You can use those omega/ngo drivers though,I think they are modified to remove the soft lock but cant confirm abt that

And By the way if your card is 6200 turbo cache...then JUST FORGET OVERCLOCKING....sell your card and get a 7200/7300gs +peace of mind
