Geforce 6200 TC barely available

NVIDIA MADE a big noise about its miraculous NV44 chip - the one powered with Nvidia Turbo cache memory marchitecture. Both Nvidia and ATI have rivalled each other in volume about ability to address system memory and use it for graphic. These tweaks help both to make cheap cards and make some oof out of them.

Nvidia launched its marchitecture quite some time ago, and we managed to spot some in the German etail market. These cards should be cheap and we expect them in many OEM machines. Actually we expect to see 6200TC or X300SE Hyper memory in OEMs machines. These cards are direct competitors.

Nvidia has an alternative as it is selling 6200 cards already. Bear in mind that 6200 cards are based on different core called NV43-V slower variation of NV43, Geforce 6600 core while the real 6200 TC (Turbo Cache) are based on NV44 chips.

A few of the manufacturers managed to make the real McCoy Geforce 6200TC cards and to ship them onto etail warehouse shelves. We found out that Leadtek and Sparkle have those cards already available. You can check them here and here. A Leadtek card costs €67 while Sparkle solution ends up at very affordable €62. A Sixty two hundred for sixty two hundred cents sounds like a good marketing move, to me.

The more famous UK shops still don't have any of the 6200TC cards. We hope that this might change soon and we believe that the 6200TC will make some money for Nvidia. µ

* NVIDIA SAYS it ain't necessarily so. Gainward has some of the 6200TC cards selling for £39.25 and you can get them here while you can get some of the Palit, XFX or Leadtek cards at Scan UK here. You can get these cards in Scandinavia and komplett.no and komplett.se, in Denmark in www.midtdata.dk and in Holland at this place. Apologies. Fuad Abazovic.
