The sixth-generation GeForce chips are the only GPU in their class to support Microsoft's DirectX 9.0 specifications with Pixel Shader 3.0 and full Vertex support. No bargain-basement images here: the 6200 is also OpenGL 2.0 compliant – the industry standard for high performance graphics.

The 6200 features four pixel pipelines and has a respectable core clock speed of 300MHz with a lightning-quick 533MHz memory clock. A full 256MB of 64-bit GDDR2 memory delivers cutting edge graphics at a full 2048x1536 resolution and with the ability to go large on an external display using the S-Video output.

The CineFX 3.0 engine delivers stunning special effects with smoother graphics and faster gameplay – even in complex scenes with multiple lighting sources. Nvidia's Unified Driver Architecture ensures forward and backward compatibility with software drivers.

4 out of 5 eggsgood enough for the 2000's

Pros: inexpensive
easy to install

Cons: obviously not top of the line
outdated

Other Thoughts: i had an old computer that could be upgraded to play games online instead of building a whole new rig. this was the temp fix

5 out of 5 eggsGreat card to run Windows 7 Aero

Pros: - Great performance.
- Transformed my mediocre computer into a great computer.
- Windows 7 installed the driver for me.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I installed Windows 7 onto my Dell Dimension 2400 and needed a video card to support the Aero interface. I bought this card based on the high user feedback. Installation was straitforward, except that the VGA cable barely fit between the card and the computer case, but it did fit. Video performance is great and exceeded my expectations. Windows 7 was even nice enough to install the newest driver for me. The windows experience index also increased. Graphics increased from a score of 1.0 to 2.4 and Gaming graphics increased from 1.9 to 3.1 . If you have an older computer and want to run Windows 7, then this is the video card for you.

5 out of 5 eggsPain in the you-know-what to install, but here are some pointers for the rest of you

Pros: The video looks better than the Dell Dimension 3100 onboard graphics.

Cons: What a pain to install. I kept getting a black screen after the windows logo. Finally fixed it - here is what I did for those of you having problems:

1. Install the card and connect your monitor to it.
2. Boot into safe mode with networking.
3. Windows will find your new hardware and install it.
4. Go into device manager and disable the onboard graphics (I couldn't do it in the bios, the best I could do was set the option to "auto" there).
5. Reboot normally.

5 out of 5 eggsGood Card

Pros: EVGA has great cards. This card for a PCI is great. I got the card for an Intel® 845GL chipset. I have 1.128gb of ram with a 2.0GHz Processor. The card went right in and then trouble,(see con).

Cons: After install I had already read about the drivers, so I down loaded from EVGA, well as you know it, when booting up you could get to the XP screen, then just black screen, and yes bios was set for PCI. Called EVGA Tech support, they did good, but when in safe mode tried dumping all drivers and reboot, no go, the only way to get the card to work was to crash the hard drive, then load the chipset drivers for the motherboard, then the drivers for the card. Worked after that but then the real work started, loading all updates and reloading programs on.

Other Thoughts: Bad to have to crash the hard drive and reload your whole system, EVGA's fault there, but as always, Newegg was johnny on the spot with shipping, here in 3 days and happy as all get-out with Newegg, have never gotten anything bad from them and fast shipping, I have ordered from Newegg for over 3 years now and never ever got nothing but fast service and great parts.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat for PCI

Pros: GREAT!!! I have it in my Dell Dimension 3000 runs games great. Half-Life 2/CS:S runs great on high with 25-50 FPS, Half-Life 2 Ep.1 runs great with 800x600 with everything on high. Runs TF2, Portal, HL2 EP 2 with everything low-med. Runs Left For Dead everything on low only lags when the hoard comes the woods but it quickly recovers. Runs COD4 with everything on low with 20-35 fps.. not to to bad. I heard about the yitch3 config and tried it and it ran COD4 all on low with 40-70 fps but it looked washed out. Runs Far-Cry all on high with 30-124 fps Runs Quake 4 800x600 all on high. COD2 runs great. Runs F.E.A.R all on high (not highest). It doesn't like Far Cry 2 I get about 13-20 fps...

Cons: I don't know why all the other reviews say this is so bad for gaming... Far Cry all on low and it still wont run? Did you update ur drivers? Download the patch for the game?

Other Thoughts: Dell Dimension 3000 case

1 out of 5 eggsDoesn't Work

Pros: 256MB PCI Video card. Installs like any other video card. Fast shipping.

Cons: Card was received from Newegg with a bent prong and a CD with light scratches. This clearly was not the new card I expected.

I bought this card for an ASUS A7LV-VM motherboard. After install, the computer reboots itself shortly after the Windows loading screen starts. Boots into safe mode fine. Installed the most recent drivers directly from Nvidia. The problem persists.

I will be RMAing this card hoping it isn't working due to a short in the card and not due to incorrectly listed hardware requirements that the EVGA tech suggested.

Other Thoughts: EVGA weekend tech support seems to be lacking the "tech". I got the idea that the person I spoke with was reading solution off of a card and didn't actually know very much about video cards and computers. He first told me that this card requires 18 Amps to run the video card (mine is 15A) - which it might, but it does not say that on the system requirements. It simply says it needs a 250W power supply. I have a 300W power supply, so it should be sufficient. After confirming that the BIOS was using the PCI card and that I was using the latest drivers, he suggested I call ASUS and see if they support this video card. I have not done that yet. Mostly because I think it was a cop-out on his part.

Manufacturer Response:

Hi,

I would like to get more details on your case.

*Can you please let me know who you spoke with?
*The issue indicates that it is likely a driver issue, can you try booting into safe mode, wiping all drivers then reboot again? After that install the latest drivers from our website.

You can also contact me at jacobf@evga.com.

Thanks,
Jacob

5 out of 5 eggsgood card

Pros: Definitly helped out my older Dimension 2400, with only the PCI slot. Good price for what you get.

Cons: Tight fit, was not able to use the normal monitor output, and had to use the DVI extension to get it to fit.

Other Thoughts: Fast shipping as usual, recieved it in under 48 hours. No problems installing this card, and other than having to use the extension, it's working great.

4 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Very good card if you are replacing integrated graphics or just need an upgrade, the card can play games such as half life 2 and WIC with ok settings, great card for pci and for the price.

Cons: it could have preformed a little bit better than what i thought but it was satisfactory for pci

Other Thoughts: it was hard personally for me to install the intel integrated would not give up control but got the card working, also this card runs hot!

2 out of 5 eggsblah

Pros: cheap.

Cons: couldnt get the card to boot in regular loading mode... had to figure out that i needed to start the computer in VGA mode because apparently they send the card out with all the max settings on (which my HDTV didnt support?) so all i was getting was a blank screen after windows logo.
all i really wanted to use this card for was to play the itunes visualizer on my hdtv for parties... it was unable to accomplish that even in the lower resolution settings.
flimsy metal.
no fan, card gets hot.

Other Thoughts: very disappointed in this card, i will be getting a different one
