Running AGP, can probs stretch to ~ 55-60 GBP.
Need to give them a ring, but a local shop had a load of 64mb 9500NP's for sale, at 15 gbp each... Only of use for those running AGP, but its a much cheaper card... They are all L shaped mem too, so mod fine to 8 pipes....
Yep your right, I think $100 or more is just to much for a competion.
To all: Just vote wich card you'd like by adding it in your post please !!!
I like the 256mb evga, I wonder if newegg will give us a price break if we all go in together, and possibly a prize.
Also, maybe we should split it into intel/amd. Unfortunately, I'm intel right now (can't afford to go amd) and I know the AMD rigs will score better, so it doesn't seem level across the platforms. In other words, if the poor Intel people don't have to compete agains AMD'ers, the competition should get a lot more participators.
Maybe everyone could pick out their own card for under $100 and whoever has the best 3dmark score per dollar spent, wins.
Hmm, in DK a 6600 and 6200 are almost the same price, give or take 10 USD.
I'm thinking of getting an Asus 6200 128mb 128bit interface. Any news on how these seem to fare?
I recently received this Leadtek 6200 http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...uctCode=323633
Was a little over $100 but I was able to unlock hidden pipes and it OCed very well. Stock 300/550 OCed 475/675. I recently put a waterblock on it and will have to rerun some benches. Two days ago I pulled a 28xx in 3dmark05. This card seems to be a very good clocker.
put ur core up i can get mine to 550 on a cool day and my ram too, my stock ram is 400 and stock core is 300
Anymore discussion weather this will happen?
Hmm...add 6200 sli to the equation?
I ordered another Leadtek A6200 TD yesterday for my work computer (need to play BF2 :D ), unfortunetly AGP so no chance for SLI. Going to see how that card OC's and keep the best one at my house. So far I've got my core to 485, mem to 680 with all pipes unlocked. I'm curious to see if this next card will do as well.
After looking at all the 6200 configurations, it looks like there are so many that some may need to be eliminated. For instance, 64-bit cards will not be able to compete with 128 bit cards, etc.
im really interested, sounds like alot of fun.
It'd definitely have to be a competition among the 128-bit cards, either 128mb or 256mb.Quote:

EDIT: I just noticed i posted a link which was the exact same card as the last comp, lol im too tired!
Anyways something like this would be better value and less annoying if the card were to get fried!

Only £20!
Yeh, this sounds like fun. :D
I have an Inno3D AGP 6200, without a molex connector. OCed to 500/640mhz with a 2.7Ghz A64, i get 7.7k in 3dmark03...8 pipes open of course. Still raising the clocks...so i reckon i can hit 8k on '03, and 21k on '01. :)
Although if everyone else buys one with a molex connector added, ill be sunk lol. Inno3D make the chespest cards...and they are in good supply, at least in the UK, so maybe a good option for people to looking to buy one for a contest?
w0rd. I need an upgrade from my GF2. :D But I only have $90 right now. :( *Sigh*Quote:

I have two of the Leadtek Winfast A6200 AGP card and both unlocked with no IQ problems. One overclocked from 300/550 to 485/685. My other one didn't fare as well and only did 430/680. Still not bad for a $100 card, I'm pleased with them. Just a CH away from 3000 in 3dmark05.
This may help you guys on a budget. In design it looks like one on the 128bit cards that can be unlocked. $76 with shipping. But dang they are sold out now. Can this one be unlocked?

That card looks almost identical to my 6200 cards and both of those unlocked. It really depends on the core. NV43 will unlock, NV44 do not have the extra pipes to unlock. I think thats the way it is.Quote:

i take it this is a nogo???
I've been very busy lately so didn't have much time for starting this competition.
I still want to do it but if someone enjoys to get this competition from the ground he can take it from here.
If someone could make a poll we would be much further already. I cant make a poll because I'm stupid :fact:
The poll should be about which card to chose.
maybe have cooling classes.......but cpu classes with this slow of video card doesnt make sense.
To make a poll u would need to make a new thread AFAIK.Quote:
