Point Of View 6200 TC
16. Conclusion
Good performance is not something you would ever expect from a budget level card and the 6200TC is no exception to the rule. However, there are major improvements from the previous class representatives, the 9200 and FX5200 that almost double the performance but still, if you would describe yourself as a gamer, then maybe you're looking at the wrong solution to your needs.
The price of the Point Of View 6200 TurboCache is approximately €70. Even though the card's performance is not so great, TurboCache makes the card much cheaper which actually results in the 6200 being worth its money. The card offers higher performance than previous generation entry level cards while maintaining approximately the same cost.
Overclocking the card helped get a little higher performance in our games but not much more than all cards could do. The 6200 TC is an average overclocker but every framerate increment is welcome, especially when the graphics card is already at its limits.
Bundled along with the card, you'll find a full DVD version of Thief 3 : Deadly Shadows. Thief 3 is a top-quality game but unfortunately the bundle doesn't really correspond to the card's rendering power and the game is unplayable unless you use the lowest possible video settings through the Thief 3 Options menu.
Pros:
-Suitable for home multimedia computers
-Great game included in the package
-Very low price
Cons:
-Poor performance in most games
