Good Enough Video Card for 3.5K Php Budget that can Play Quite Heavy 3DGames Now

mao na imo VC??

[yob]

GF6200, even at 64-bit, will beat 5200 and 5500 on newer games, 5500 is basically 5200 with higher clock speed. 5200 cards differ from GF 5600, 5700, 5900 on the pixel shader capability...
newer games really exploit the pixel shader capability of the card.. w/c the 6-series has an edge over the previous series...

yes mas ok ang 9550!!!

Hmmmm, how come you could say that 9550 is better than 6200 where 6200 has higher core speed and mem, why is that so? Nalilito ako... Can you explain please kuya?

[darkwing]

6200 is only 64bit while a 9550 is a 128bit, haven't seen a benchmark comparison of the two though...better katong highest clock sa 9550, tag 4500 raman tingali...

nye, guess its the clock is the good basis for the power of a VC, not the bit kuya. A6200 TDH has 350 mhz while the radeoin 9550 has only 250 mhz. guess "bit" is only the color. Ya, kadto radeon 9550 ultra imo gi mean which costs 4700.

hmm dili ba ang 128bit/64bit sa bandwidth na? maypa 6600GT nalang dayon hehehehe

[yob]

yup the bit is the memory bandwidth
to get the theoretical speed in Mb/sec (Megabytes/Second)

= (bit x memory speed) / 8

ex.

For a Radeon 9550, with 128-bit memory @ 400 Mhz

(128-bit * 400) / 8 = 6.4 Mb/s

While a GF6200, with 64-bit mem. @ 500 Mhz around

(64-bit * 500) / 8 = 4 Mb/s

you can compare the memory speed directly across all cards regardless of what type..

HOWEVER, you cannot compare the Core Clock speed of different core types. different cores handle graphics differently
you cannot compare a Radeon running at 250 with a Geforce running at same clock
just like a Pentium 4 @ 2.0GHz and an Athlon 64 3200+ at 2.0 GHz doesnt have the same performance

9550 is actually 9600 with reduced core. standard 9600 runs at 325Mhz core. you can search the comparison on the net. 9550 is highly overclockable i read some overclocking it the core to 400Mhz+

ok class, calculate the memory bandwidth of a BFG Tech Geforce 7800GTX 512MB GDDR3 with 1.75 GHz 256-bit Memory..

kinsay naa ani? paliton nako P3,500... hehehe

[wendellmb]

na. hala cge...

Palit Geforce 6200A = P3,100 sa Arctech
