Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of XFX PVT44AWANG GeForce 6200 256MB GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card (VGA/DVI/S-Video)Customer Review: Awesome Card! Summary: 5 Stars
A very nice card for the money! Just downloaded the latest drivers from nVidia's website, installed the hardware, and I was ready to rock. The card is quiet since it doesn't have a fan, and stays around 55 degrees C with regular use on my computer. Working the card with some games, I've seen it climb up to 88 degrees C, which is still in it's yellow zone.
I had the card ordered with the "Super Saver" free shipping, which I was disappointed to be told would take approximately 9 to 11 days to arrive. I was very happy when it showed up in 3 days instead!
Customer Review: No GPU fan - be careful of heat problems Summary: 3 Stars
Until this card failed on me due to heat issues, it was a good price for performance.
My interal case temperature (Not CPU temp.) reached 80 - 82 degrees Farenheit over several hours; I left the PC on, went to work and air conditioner was off. Upon returning home, I noticed some glitches I assumed to be WinXP related and rebooted. The reboot never initialized graphics to the screen. Swapping out this card with my old 5700LE resolved this issue.
In summary, this card is good but without a GPU fan, will fail sooner than cards with a GPU fan.
Customer Review: XFX GeForce 6200 256MB DDR2 SGP Video Card. Summary: 3 Stars
Works OK, was looking for more as it is linked to my Panasonic Plasma and the automated sync kept falling over, but if you don't spend the wasted hours trying to sync automatically and do it yourself then a good card at a reasonable price. Conversion to low profile was my main reason for purchase and if you buy the kit it's easy. BUT YOU MUST BUY THE KIT, because while it says it's low profile on the box it's not without the kit.Low Profile Bracket Kit
Customer Review: GeForce 6200 Outstanding! Summary: 5 Stars
Hi, I bought the pci express version of this video card about a month ago and still am not over how awsome it is. From the first video test I did playing a video on my tv from my computer I was just totaly blown away. I have seen video card that can do some pretty amazing things with graphics but this has got to be the best in my book. Nvidia should be taking this one to the drawing board and just improve on the amount of ram it has onboard and it would be the perfect card for anyone.
Two thumbs way way up for this.
Customer Review: Great quiet card! Summary: 5 Stars
Being a traditional non-gamer, integrated graphics suited me fine for years and years. But I recently started playing some games and wanted some better visual effets. Didn't realize that this card existed which not only offered greater performance but was passively cooled -- an important factor for me because fan noise bothers me (I built my PC system to use a single larger fan running at low speeds to make it virtually silent). The net result I got was massively improved gaming performance with zero increase in noise.
