ASUS GeForce 6200TC 256MB(64MB on Board ) DDR PCI Express x16 Video Card EN6200TC256/TD/64M

Comments: Good card, as I've consitently found with ASUS - with one exception: Don't expect this card to have stand-alone dual monitor support. The DVI port is DVI-D - digital only, so you can only connect a dvi cable to it, not a vga-dvi adapter. I'm running it along with another pci video card and it's worked fine, however I had to install the drivers for the pci card BEFORE installing the asus driver. Quite a headache at the time, but I hope this helps someone else.

Pros: *Inexpensive *Supports DirectX 9 *Supports Media Center Edition *Supports good resolution *Good brand

Cons: *None

Overall Review: I've purchased more Asus video cards than any other brand and recommend them for video cards and mother boards any day. This card, while low end, likes Media Center Edition much better than the 6150 that is included on my Shuttle's motherboard. WIth the old integrated chipset, I couldn't hit 1440 x 900 even though the TV could... with this, I can easily hit it and run Doom3 and Quake 4 at least at good resolution. Definately a good buy for a low-end/budget card

Pros: Works well with Fedora Core 6 Linux, especially using the NVIDIA drivers.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Not being a gamer, I can't say how well it performs in that area. I simply wanted an inexpensive card that would work with everyday applications on Linux and would support the 1440x900 recommended resolution of my new LCD monitor. This card is great for my purposes.

Pros: Low price, compact, quality build, works well for both websurfing and watching videos on my pc.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I originally purchased this as a temporary card because I bought a motherboard that only had a pcie video card. My plan was to upgrade once DX10 cards were out but this card has worked so well that I just don't see the need now.

Comments: This is a great low budget card, but if your gonna be playing games alot you might want to look at an 6600GT w/128MB. Runing The Sims 2 on the highest settings with 1280 x 1024 resolution looked good, but other games like UT2004 & BattleField 2 have to be set on low or medium settings to get good frame rate, and 4x AA slows this card down alot. I didn't have any technical problems with this card at all, and this card stays cool even without a fan (just have good case air flow).

Comments: Plays BF2 at 800x600 or 1024x768 just fine on low detail. I bet I could do a little better detail if I wasn't stuck with 512MB of RAM. This card is a gift to low budget gamers!

Pros: Cheap - Low Profile

Cons: None

Overall Review: Owned it for two years works fine. TOTALLY agree with 'computer geek' it IS funny how some of this stuff is rated ... I haven't been rating stuff cuz I feel I should own it for a while. and I'm also trying to be honest about my knowledge of things. I've been involved with computers for 30 years now. and they have been my career my whole employed life. but I don't give myself a high rating on everything. ... Take this video card - I'm not a gamer, gamers tend to know ALOT about video cards... I'd say I know a fair bit ... but there are those that know more.

Pros: cheap, needed something for video-less mobo this was the cheapest. i could play bf2 lowest of low settings (was enough for me) but after recent addons of 2GB of value select ram it can do maxed out w/o aa. has asus gamerOSD which means i can record my gaming and play it back (higher quality sacrifices game settings but good enough for me)

Cons: none for what you paid

Overall Review: i figured i'd wait to buy what ever new gaming tech is around the bend, but turns out i'm not into gaming enough to justify much more than this card. my setup is an e6300, ecs 570 sli-t mobo, 3gb value select ram, rest is subject for change
