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!

COMMENT - "The Inno3D GeForce 6200 TC and XFX GeForce FX 5200 are not really designed for gamers which is why we will first benchmark at 800x600 with low quality settings. These are settings we feel both video cards will be able to deliver a playable performance. The Inno3D GeForce 6200 TC is playable using ALL of the games benchmarked, however the XFX GeForce FX 5200 is unable to deliver a playable performance with two of the demanding games tested."
