Simply amazing for how cheap these cards are! You're right about the 6200 Turbocache, they use NV44 not NV43 (6600). I think I'm going to pick one up. Do you guys think refurbished ones have a lower likelihood of being about to do this mod?

9800 pro = 170-200. This card is 100. Nice value for a modder, also a nice project for the cheapest 20K. What do you think it would be?
I got a eVGA 6200 with 550 MHz ram and this thing runs like a beast on steroids! I unlocked the additional pipes and got to overclock a bit, here are my results:

That's my max stable artifact free overclock, I'd wager to say I could go a little bit further, but this is about it. Simply a great value card!
how do you unlock additional pipes ?
i mean especially for 6200 AGP if any available ?
I am impressed! I am going to OC my 6600 GT just so I dont feel bad that you can match my stock performance :D
Congrats! :toast:

Yeah, I agree.Quote:

Anyone with <9700/5900... this is your lucky day.. this seems like the real deal.. really good budget card. Just make sure to stay AWAY from the Turbo-Cache models.
is there any list of Turbo-Cache 6200?Quote:

I've it works you maybe even have the highest overclockable card there is :banana:
what do you think of these ?
Leadtek Winfast A6200 TD
128MB dvi/tvout PCIe
it's AGP...any ideas if unlocking pipes would work ?
Im a real noob at soldering and need a little bit more intrsuction exacly how to solder, ground and all that. Picture by picture. Anybody have any good volt mod pictures to show?Quote:

I have heard that the AGP do not allow for sucessful unlocking/overclocking but I hope the information I got is wrong! Please let us know how it goes.
very interesting Ferry...i might just try that...i'll get back to you guys..
I'd like to try a plain jane 6600 bios on my card. I have a feeling that if I could get ahold of a eVGA 6600 bios I could effectively use it. Anyone have one they want to give me? :explode:Quote:

^no they are not SLI compatible
What exactly makes a card SLI "compatible"? Obviously the 6600 GT is SLI compatible but the 6600 NU is not, so is it simply the bios? If so, since the 6200 is basically a stripped down 6600, I don't see why someone couldn't hack the bios and get it to work. As I said before, I have absolutely no idea how something is SLI compatible so I'm just throwing out an idea. I mean, the SLI bridge isn't required anyways so we wouldn't need it for a dual 6200 set up! :DQuote:

I'm not sure either, but I'm 90% sure it's not required from all the ruckus due to the DFI Ultra board. Even though the ultra board didn't come with an SLI bridge people were able to run SLI albeit it at a somewhat slower rate. I'll do a search on this momentarily.Quote:

Quote from Tom's Hardware:
"Without the SLI connector attached, the driver gets grumpy. SLI works, but in a limited fashion (see Performance Analysis).
And one last measurement in UT2004 without the SLI connector hooked up, 1600x1200 4xAA/8xAF:
With SLI connector (2 cards): 153.3 FPS
Without SLI connector disabled (2 cards): 133.0 FPS
Single card (1 card): 101.1 FPS "
Anyone want to start working on hacking the bios? Also, I found out that the Gigabyte 6600 has a turbo version of the 6600 NU maybe we can use it for an improvement in performance (have read that someone was able to flash the 6600 GT non-turbo with a turbo bios so maybe this'll work for the 6600 NU as well)! Maybe if we could flash our 6200's to 6600 we could take advantage of this "special" bios.
no... you need the bridge. ;)
Look at my above link. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but I believe you don't need it! You'll just take a performance hit.Quote:

That's true... but if someone can figure out how to get SLI working for some of the cheaper cards using this method, maybe we could stand to gain something. Two 6200's in pseudo-SLI would most likely beat a 6600 GT and would likely cost about the same!Quote:
