InnoVision's 9 video cards - a complete assortment of value-sector solutions for AGP and PCI-E
Inno3D GeForce 6200A 128Mb and 256Mb
Package bundle:
The information on installed memory is labeled on the orange sticker on the front side of the box.
- Video card Inno3D GeForce 6200À;
- DVI/ D-Sub 15-pin adapter;
- S-Video/RCA adapter;
- Drivers and utilities CD;
- User's manual;
- ÑD with 3DMark05.
The package bundles in the 256Mb and 128Mb versions of Inno3D GeForce 6200A are absolutely identical. The same applies to the cooling system which appears to be an aluminum radiator for cooling the GPU.
Inno3D GeForce 6200 AGP 128Mb
Inno3D GeForce 6200 AGP 256Mb
GeForce 6200A makes a fundamental difference from its predecessor of the same name (except the letter À) and based on NV43-V chip. First of all, NV44A is a chip of native support for AGP. Therefore, the board does not need the HSI bridge. That means the board does not require additional power supply as it used to be on 6200 (NV43-V) and is not equipped with a respective connector. Secondly, all the boards on the base of NV44 offer a memory exchange bus of no more than 64-bit capacity.
Hence, it is not quite clear why such weak products are equipped with large capacities of video memory which makes the cards even more expensive. There are known cases when GeForce 6200A was equipped with 512 (!)Mb of video memory.
Perhaps all these tricks are aimed at the unsophisticated user who would be tempted by getting a cheap card with «as many as 512Mb!!!» onboard.
But we can only set hopes for the test results which will clearly indicate the boost produced by extra 128 Mb on this card and whether the game is worth the candles.
The cards in question are equipped with different DDR video memory capacities. The data transmission bus is of 64-bit capacity. The Samsung chips offer 4ns access time which is equivalent to 500MHz DDR operating frequency. But, be careful! The standard memory operating frequency on this (!) 256 Mb board is 400MHz DDR. That is 100MHz lower than the regular video memory frequency for similar cards (500MHz DDR). Things are fine with the 128Mb version – 500MHz DDR.
The memory chips are positioned in two along each side of the PCB.
The frequency of the NV44A GPU (4 PP/3 VP) on both boards is 350MHz. Like in the previous cases, the set of outputs is also standard - analogous, digital, and TV-OUT.
Now on to overclocking and benchmarking.
