6200 TC Vs. 7100GS

[fps justin]

Just out of random curiousity. Any reviews? =P

Here in the Right Corner... we have the 6200 TC. Comes with 128mb of DDR rated at 400mhz. A 350mhz cpu with an amazing 4 picel pipeline.

In the left, is the 7100GS TC. Comes with 128mb of DDR2 rated at a spanking fast 666mhz. A 350mhz cpu also, with an amazing 4 pixel pipeline.

Expect a 2-3FPS increase using a 7100GS.

It's not gonna help worth crap...

hahahaha. I just thought this would be a little fun sort of thread.

The 6200TC 128 (32mb) is actually 700 DDR. They're the same GPU as far as I know, the 7100GS should thus be slightly under the 6200TC 128 (32mb). ;)

don't see that anywhere. IT says dual 400mhz RAMDAC.

You probably don't know exactly what RAMDAC means, that's why. ;D
RAMDAC speed =/= memory frequency
Infact, basicly RAMDAC(s) convert a digital color signal to an analog/digital signal that your monitor can understand.

Yeah, RAMDAC isn't RAM speed....

Seems the 6200TC RAM is rated in the range of 500-550MHz (apparently companies overclock this POS). The 7100GS is 633MHz for sure.

Anyways, I retain my previous statement. Some 100MHz in RAM speed and DDR2 (plagued with latency problems) won't give you more than 2-3, maybe 5 at max, FPS.

Neither of those cards are gonna be any good for gaming, so don't even bother wondering which would be better. When comparing low-end budget solutions like that, you want to focus more on price, feature set, bundle, and warranty/support from the manufacturer, not the 3D performance because regardless of what the box looks like, they are not meant for gaming.
