Nvidia FX 5600 vs. F6200

by nickelpat - 12/14/06 7:26 PM

I'm looking to upgrade my card by the end of the year. The closest computer store is a Staples and i can just walk there. The fastest NVIDIA AGP card there is the PNY GeForce 6200 256MB.

Is that card faster for games than the FX 5600 i have now?

While the PNY GeForce 6200 is entry level

the FX 5600 is a step above the entry level in the older generation of cards. You can compare stats by looking here:

Maybe not much of an upgrade?

What video card do you already have?
What games do you want to play?

This is important because those cards may not be much of an improvement over what you already have. Both the manufacturer name and the model number would be needed.
