AGP Video Cards

[raoul_1101]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking at getting an AGP video card for one of my older computers. There are a couple of things I would like to compare. Namely, the GeForce 5500 and 6200.
The 5500 has a 128-bit memory bus, while the 6200 has only a 64-bit memory bus. I believe the 6200 has a faster memory clock, however.
The other thing, is the 6200 has a core speed of 375 mHz; the 5500 a 250 mHz core.

How will these factors compare against one another?

According to this:

They both have a 128 bit memory bus. The 6200 is pretty clearly better.

You can't compare core clock and such across different series of cards. The 6200 is a newer card and is better than the 5500.

100% true, if core clocks and memory clocks determined performance, ATI cards would seem to be monsters.
