BENCHMARK SETTINGS:- We use three different image quality and resolution settings when we benchmark computer hardware for review. Low quality setting uses a resolution of 1024x768 (unless otherwise stated) and all of the game settings are set to low, this setting will mostly test for processor rather than video performance. Medium quality setting uses a resolution of 1280x1024 (unless otherwise stated) and all of the game settings are set to medium, this setting will test both the processor and video performance. High quality setting uses a resolution of 1600x1200 (unless otherwise stated) and all of the game settings are set to high, this setting is a very demanding test for video rather processor performance!

INNO3D GEFORCE 6200 TURBOCACHE XFX GEFORCE FX 5200

COMMENT - "We thought we would expand the software we use for benchmarking to include more unusual software. Egirl is very cpu limited at low quality which is why the result is so close but medium quality is more demanding. Using medium quality the Inno3D Geforce 6200 TC outperforms the XFX Geforce FX 5200 by 49% which then falls to 14% with high quality settings."

INNO3D GEFORCE 6200 TURBOCACHE XFX GEFORCE FX 5200

COMMENT - "This is a benchmark using the four Nvidia technical demos (Dawn, Dusk, Luna and Nalu) created to show the advanced features of Nvidia video cards. The more advanced Inno3D Geforce 6200 TC starts off strongly outperforming the XFX Geforce FX 5200 by 48% with the Nvidia Dawn demo. The Dusk demo is more demanding than the Dawn demo but the Inno3D Geforce 6200 TC still manages a 62% performance increase over the XFX Geforce FX 5200. The XFX Geforce FX 5200 only supports SM2.0 and the Luna demo requires SM3.0 which is why there are only results for the Inno3D Geforce 6200 TC. The Nalu demo was created to advertise the Geforce6 which is why the results are so low."
