NVIDIA GeForce 6200 With TurboCache Review

December 15th 2004 | Graphics Cards

The GeForce 6200 with TurboCache is indeed a scaled-down version of the NV4x architecture that powers the entire line of GeForce 6 graphics cards, but it’s not just that. NVIDIA has reworked the memory management portions of the NV4x pipeline in order to allow this new NV44 GPU to use system memory for rendering.

…NVIDIA deserves some praise for the GeForce 6200 GPU independent of the caching scheme. This graphics chip offers near-feature-parity with NVIDIA’s high-end GPUs, and it brings an amazing feature set to the sub-$100 portion of the graphics market, including Shader Model 3.0 and three real vertex shader engines. The fact that this thing runs Doom 3 at over 70 frames per second in High Quality mode at 640×480 impresses the heck out of me.

The again, the fact that it does so with only 32MB of local memory is a sign of true innovation.
