Impressive 6200 Overclocks

[GSJ]

GSJ you must check the box "allow enabling hardware masked units"

Thank you Soki! i am not with my card yet... but i am going to tell my friend about your post.

Thanks again!

[GSJ]

Hum... in (A2,8x1,3vp) what A2 stand for?

my friend's card it is 256mb, and it shows (A4,4x1,3vp) ... A4? hehe.

We have tried no check that box Soki... but still doesnt working...


any other tip?

thank you again.

[soki]

You must check this box!

What version of rivatuner you are using? I think its not working with 15.3NY, try with 15.2 or 15.4

Umm... I've only ever used 15.3... works fine for me.

Hum... i cant talk to my friend cuz he is offline...

but this is so strange... i think we will have to try another version...

the problem is not even artifacts ... cuz we cant even mod to see if the pipes are ok or not...

thx, if i have news, i'll post!

Awesome stuff everyone! Such a cool find.

Hey Ackbar, I wanted to find out if your card was the eVGA 256 MB one they have at Newegg. I also wanted to hear the results of the other guys playing with one.

I am very interested in this card if it can be unlocked or overclocked. I also wanted to know if anyone knows whether the plain 6600 is overclockable at all, since the pricing is really close to the 6200. Any thoughts. $125 for eVGA 6200 256 MB or $135 for Chaintech 6600 128 MB. BTW, anyone been able to unlock a Chaintech yet?

Thanks for the all the information everyone.

Peace.

Hey guys... what software do you use to change ID?

its a Bios mod, rigth? and what software do you use to edit ur bios?


thanks!

Are you sure you don't have a 6200 TurboCache?

[GSJ]

Are you sure you don't have a 6200 TurboCache?

Yes. the card is AGP... and there is no AGP TC, i think. :P

I've got the 128 MB one, even the 6600GT's usually only come with 128 MB. I think the 256 one is not really necessary unless you specifically do stuff that is useful for 256 MB.

[royhobbs]

Thanks for the response. I wondered if yours is PCI-E or AGP?

I do like to do 3-D Animation, Game Design, and Web Design stuff so I might be able to take advantage of the extra 128 MB, although I wish there was more research I could find out there on whether or not it is effective or if it affects the ability to unlock or overclock.

Thanks again! I am on the verge of buying one of these, can't hardly wait!

my friend's card it is 256mb, and it shows (A4,4x1,3vp) ... A4? hehe.

Hmmmmm,.....interesting. I don't have my 6200 in my system at the moment but I could have sworn Rivatuner said it was A3. To get the mod to work, I had to enable units 0 (obviously) as well as 16,17,18 and 19. I still don't know what those units are Maybe a variance in the procedure is needed for different core revisions??

GSJ, my card shows the exact same thing in rivatuner ,A4,4x1,3vp and it won't unlock either.

I've tried different versions of riva tuner and none of them seem to work. The box is checked, but it still shows the pipe as disabled.

[DrJay]

Kargatane,

Maybe you could try to enable different combos of units 16 thru 19 in Rivatuner's custom screen. Any one, two or three might give you different results than all four. There may a problem getting the A4s to unlock.

Jay

[Kargatane]

Already tried that. I spent the better part of a day tinkering with 16-19, if I changed any one of those, I could never get a boot back into windows.

It would just sit at a black screen unless I booted into VGA mode and changed the driver.

[royhobbs]

Kargatane, which card do you have?

damn... what A4 means??

Kargatane, we will have to work together to get some results...

u are having aexctly the same prob? in Nvstrap show's 8 pipes, but in the main window show's 4.

what's your card?


thanks! cya.

[GSJ]

Maybe if we find one A4 GF 6600 chip... hehe, then see what are enable and not, so try to copy...

just imagining... wondering... maybe i am dreaming.

Cya.

Over at newegg the 256mb eVGA is only $2 more than the 128mb eVGA. The only other differences in the specs listed at newegg is that it seems like the 128mb has 3.6ns ram and the 256mb version has 4ns ram. Which one should I go with?

Edit: or should I just get this Apollo card. One of the users said it was unlocked to 8 pipes and it appears to have 3.6ns ram.

[Kargatane]

Mine is turning out to be a pretty goofy card actually.

It's a Chaintech 6200 agp w/256. On chaintech's website it states that the card comes in multiple clockspeeds and either 128 or 64 bit.

According to their website, it says those with a mem speed of 400 mhz are 64 bit. Mine out of the box is at 400, but it's 128 bit. At least rivatuner and everything else seems to say 128 bit.

I haven't really tried to oc it much because I can't get the pipes open, but I do know it does 350/550 without a problem.

[jbmx4life]

anyone got anything on the Chaintech 128mb 6200 AGP's?? They seem to be the cheapest and I am wondering if they are able to unlock. Otherwise I might have to wait for the Leadtek's to come back in stock I guess. What about the eVGA's? THanks for the help.

Maybe A4 is nvidia telling TSMC to stop the 6200 nv43's being forced into 6600nv43's to stop sales of 6600 being affected ?

I'm up to 18k in 3dmark 2001 at 400/550 with my 6200/6600/nv43 and just got past DrJay ..shame I cannot publish due to generic vga problem ..

I dont think that A4 means some blocked chip...

i think that there's a way to unlock the pipes... it is just different, we need to try other conbinations, it must be a way...

Nv44 will be unlocked, Nv43 it inst...

Ok, I'm not in the habit of posting private messages, but someone sent me this and I think it's valid to the conversation.

" hay ive been try to post to you for 5 day now and cant get on the site
i had a 6200 like yours and it work good the 6200 is 64 or 124 out of the box you haft to set your bios in the computer not the card after you get it set in the bios it will unlock with all the seting post you seen sadly i lost my 6200 3 day ago i was testing
dont push it to hard "

I'm very curious to try, but I have no idea what setting in the bios would have that type of change to the card?
