Digital camera reviews of XFX PVT44AWANG GeForce 6200 256MB GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card (VGA/DVI/S-Video)
Digital camera Review: Great Deal For Money
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a casual gamer. I bought this card to replace my old ASUS GeForce2 MX/MX 400 AGP card. I play alot of Day Of Defeat: Source and with the recent Steam updates, they took advantage of the new shader system. My old card couldn't handle it. This card handles it perfectly. I used to play at the resolution of 800x600 now I'm able to play at 1024x768 with no GPU based problems. Some of you that have older system may also have an 'out-dated' CPU. I'm using an older AMD Sempron 3000+ 2GHz. I only see some bottle-necking, but that is CPU based problems.
Although a great card, it does tend to get hot after vigorous usage. So I would recommend you to make an investment into cooling. A simple case fan blowing over the motherboard would most likely help. Also I use a program called SpeedFan to track the GPU and CORE temperatures of my video card. This card comes with a Double Life Time warranty. Meaning, if you card takes a dump do to defects of the manufacturing, they WILL replace it. It is stated on the website that this warranty does NOT cover damages caused by overclocking. If you sell this card to a friend or whoever they can also take advantage of the lifetime warranty. All they have to do is register the unique ID on the XFX registration webpage.
Another thing I liked about this card is, being AGP and with todays technology leaning more towards 8x AGP support, this card does give you the versatility of 4x/8x. So if you have an older motherboard. This card is supported on older motherboards equipt with 4x AGP slots. Although rated for use with a 300w PSU minimum, some people claim that they are able to run this card on a 250w PSU. Be informed that running a card on a 250w PSU that is rated for 300w may work, but you do have a chance of card failure and/or having a shorter life span.
All-In-All: Great card well worth it for the money!
One Con: Runs hot. Invest in cooling fans!
Digital camera Review: Great card
Summary: 5 Stars
Used this to "revive" and old computer and to leave it with a "decent" card. This was cheap and server for the purpose.Digital camera Review: Great card for a low spects PC
Summary: 5 Stars
I want to upgrade my PC in regular basis, but the money is an issue when buying. So I look for a graphics card that let me play something modern, like Farcry or FEAR. This does exactly that. Has a great price, its easy to install. An I'm never installed a card before. And the performance is remacable. Only you need to be sure that your mother card has an AGP expansion space. Its not so easy to find out.Digital camera Review: Great card for dual head monitors
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this card for an Acer T135 AMD Semp 3100+ 512 DDR with 275 watt PS, AGP 4X, XP home, stock unit. I was unsure of the power requirements as I had seen it stated as 350 Watts on another site. The box states "Pentium 4/III/II/Celeron, AMD K6/Athlon. APG 8X or AGP 4X, 256 Meg, Windows 2000/XP. A minimum 250W power supply is recommended in systems where a number of other internal devices are installed".
I have it driving two CRTs, an IBM 21" and a 19" dell p991 both at 1200*1600. It was easy to install with no issues. The default monitor is associated with the VGA connection but it was no problem to switch it around to the DVI-I connection. I have found no issues and am very pleased with it's performance.
Digital camera Review: Great card for the price if you have the power

I bought this for myself and crashed the hard drive on my Dell. They are serious about the size of the power supply needed. Gave it to my son and he says the card works great!
