Well I borrowed a friends 3000+ Winchester this weekend and successfully unlocked my 6200 to 8 pipelines. I also overclocked the card to 530/720 then ran 3DMark03 and got a score of ~6800. Is my score kinda low? Everything was stock except for the card.
Hey guys. You have been getting great numbrs with this mod and have convinced me to get one for my next pc. Just a quick question though, does the 256mb versions unlock and overclock as well? I'd expect the core to overclock as well but he memory to be lower (weakest link

Be careful with the 6200 now, the A4 version of the nv43 chip DOES NOT UNLOCK, only the A2 version.Quote:

Yea, didnt think it would take too long for them too lock it proper. I'm in nz and we always get stuff at least 1 month after you guys so I should be good.
Where do I look if I have Version 2 or 4?
I got a leadtek 6200 A2 128bit 128mb agp then used rivatuner to unlock it. All 8 pipelines work. Then flashed it to sparkle 6600 ultra timing bios. The core went up to 500mhz memory went up 700mhz with stock cooling. I think it can go more but going to test it later. :woot:
My question is in rivatuner the Z occlusion is checked and greyed out is it on and working? I also have it set to 6600gt id. Z-colour compression seem to be check too but not greyed out.
Any tweak/mod for purevideo encoding mpg4/xvid?/tvin/out
Could you explain how you flashed it? Ie) What command line parameters you used? Some people here have been having problems where flashing hasn't seemed to have an effect.Quote:

On reboot the bios showed as sparkle and not leadtek.
I used the sparkle ultra bios I heard someone got 780mhz memory overclock from it memory timings.
Sounds good, I'll try it when I get around to it!Quote:

So far i can go as 600/800 artifacts free, with 1.58@vgpu and 2.78@vmem
Looks like the sparkle ultra changes the memory timing, so it can go higher than any other 6600 bioses..
test with 3dmark03 @550/750 n scores a 8175, nice bios n all@stock cooler no ramsink yet.
wonder to push the card around 650 or maybe 700 gpu clocks,
does anyone ever seen if it can be done?
how much the max volt we can feed to the core?
I'm flashing with this command parameters :
NVflash -4 -5 -6 sparkleultra.rom
but beware it already clocked @ 500-700
so make sure ur card can handle this high frekuencies
if u failed to do some flash..maybe u should clear ur EEPROM first (eg: nvflash -e)
n than flash with new bios..

Where can I get this bios at? I might try flashing mine later today if I get my Venice in.

This means I can't flash to the Sparkle bios now :(. Everything is exactly the same as before except now I have a Venice and it's watercooled.
Hello to everyone...
So which 6200 AGP do you Advice to me???
Which card is the
best 6200 AGP (Pipemode unlockable (A2)) ????
--MSİ 128mb 128bit, 3.6ns Hynix is 120$ (Maybe it's an A4 chip :confused: But i am not sure...)
--Leadtek 128mb 128bit ??ns 120$
-- others....
I've been reading this ongoing post for some time now. Great information. I'm hoping someone may be able to give me some info regarding the problems I'm having with my 6200.
I bought the Chaintech SA6200 256mb 128bit card from Newegg. It states that the memory is 500mhz, however, upon installing it, Coolbits and Rivatuner detect the default memory as 400mhz. The best I can get with this card stable is 400/510. Anything over 520 for the memory I get flashing pixels, artifacts, etc. Also, it's an A4 chip so the 4 pipes are not unlockable. With that, I got an RMA from Newegg and I am contemplating sending it back.
In the meantime, I ordered the Leadtek A6200TD 128mb 128bit since there were alot of replies to this post about that card. Plus it is $115 at Newegg. It has the A2 chip which is great because I can unlock the 4 pipes with Rivatuner. However, I can't do anything with this card oc wise. Coolbits detects the optimal settings as 370/692. I run 3dmark03 at that setting and I get some crazy stuff all over the screen. Almost looks like snow like you would see on a tv. I crank the memory down to 650, 600, same thing. I can't even oc the core. I just ran 3dmark03 with 400/550 settings and still get "snow". Only at default settings of 300/550 can I get a clean run with 3dmark03. But from other posts this card can do so much more. Did I get a bad card or is it my system?
Here's my specs:
Athlon XP 3200 11@200
ECS L7S7A2 mobo
768mb (3x256) PC3200 Kingston Value RAM
Maxtor 80gb 7200rpm hd
In 3dmark03 I get:
Chaintech @ 400/510 = 4,162 (I've gotten close to 4,300 with a little higher settings)
Leadtek @ stock 300/550 and 8 pipes = 4,600+
So the Leadtek is still probably the better choice with 8 pipes, but I don't want to keep a card that supposedly has so much potential but can't be used.
I'm thinking about just keeping the Chaintech and RMA'ing the Leadtek, or putting it in my wife's pc and not oc'ing it.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
Update: I can run the Leadtek @ 350/700, with 4 pipes disabled, artifact free and get a 3dmark03 score of 4,406.
Normally if a pixel pipe fails then you get squares on the screen which is where the missing pixels from that pipe are not drawn, but yours seems worse than that for some reason.
Does it effect the score when you have these artifacts ? If not you could run 4 for games and 8 for benching ?

vote for Leadtek 3.6 ns 128MB
Just flash the bios to sparkle ultra. You can get 500/700 on default.
Mines can overclock to 585Mhz core and 735Mhz memory and pass the test on stock cooling without volt mod.
But I set it to 530Mhz/730Mhz to be on the safe side. I check out some of the volt mod guides, but looks complex maybe later I'll try to do some when I find a way to add ram sink and gpu heatsink to cool the leadtek 6200->6600 agp card more. :)
My Leadtek can work 550-750 without adding ramsink n still using the stock gpu coolerQuote:

:eek:
OK, I messed up something in my Gigabyte 6200 128mb PCI-E.
Heres the post in hardware:http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=62524
I've responded in there.Quote:

I will buy a 6200 pci-e but i´m no safe of as is better.
Which I buy? sapphite, leadtek, msi ...
well, i need help flashing my 6200 to higer clocks, i cant dump bios (used sama commands and nvflash when i flashed 6800) i get error , no nvidia display found any ideas? btw my memory reached 730 w/o heatsinks
