PNY Verto 6200 AGP 128mb

[Okran]

Does anyone know if this card is a 64 or a 128 bit card, or whether this will make much difference in real terms? I keep finding conflicting information. Here states it is a 128bit card:

However according to PNY it is 64bit:

I am inclined to go with PNY as they make the card.

I fancy buying one if you can OC it, but I dont really want to get one and find I can't OC it because it is not the right one (i.e. not 128bit).

6200? Ick. I don't know where you live but at CompUSA the 6600GT is priced lower than the 6200....

BFG 6800 GT FTW!!!

I'm building a dual SLI machine though ;)

lol I live the uk and the 6200 is cheaper for me, it's around 30 pounds.
I did some reading up and it looks like nvidia got wise and stopped making the cards with this type of spec. The chipsets are all now xxA and not unlockable. So I've invested in a x1600pro instead :)

You went from a 6200 to an x1600pro? Either your budget wasn't fixed or you got a really good deal.

Budget cards (like the 6200 is I think) are almost never a good choice for the gamer. Frequently you'd do better when on a budget seeking out the previous ranges high-end card. I don't know the precise numbers for the 6200, but its certainly been true plenty of other times.

My budget was 90 pund.
I went to dabs, checked they had some in stock, ordered the card and have now found my order is on hold due to waiting for stock. WTF? I've cancelled my order as a result and am looking for alternatives.

edit: quick peek at 3dmark compare says that the ATI one is about 20-25% faster.. a really quick peek, dont take my word for it.
