Inno3D GeForce 6200A - Test Setup
(Page 4 of 7 )
The latest ForceWare drivers from NVIDIA are version 71.89. Although they do add support for Turbocache 6200s, they still are not compatible with the Inno3D 6200A. Therefore we will be using beta drivers 76.10 that came with the card. Today's test setup will be:
Intel Pentium 4 3.0C @ 3.33GHz (222 FSB)
Abit AI7 (i865P)
2 x 512MB Kingston HyperX PC3200 Dual Channel (DDR444 2-5-2-2)
2 x 120GB Seagate 7200.7rpm SATA in RAID 0 array
Windows XP SP2 with DirectX 9.0c
Inno3D GeForce 6200 128MB @ 350/500MHz (default) using ForceWare 76.10
ATI Radeon 9600 128MB @ 325/400MHz (default) using Catalyst 5.4
Driver settings:
NVIDIA - image settings at Quality, vsync off, 60Hz refresh rate
ATI - texture preferences and mipmap detail level both at High Quality, quality AF used, vsync off, 60Hz refresh rate
Without a NV43 GeForce 6200 or AGP Radeon X300, we decided to bench the Inno3D 6200A against an ATI Radeon 9600. The Radeon 9600 is ATI's last generation DX9 middle level graphics card. Today, it can be found new for around $70, which puts it in direct competition with the budget 6200A. It comes in 64-bit and 128-bit variants; the one being tested today is the 128-bit version. With slightly lower core and memory clock speeds than the 64-bit 6200A, the 9600 should serve as a good comparison.
