For all the a$$holes that have a mest up perception that DX10 is going to be so amazing and everyone will use it immediately: you're wrong. It will become standard in time, but not as soon as it comes out. Here's a scenario where I go to Walmart to buy a HDTV. I am the OP, you are the Walmart staff member.

"Hey, I'm looking for a 36" flat screen to buy. I don't have enough space for a bigger one, and I've only got about $900 to drop."

"Lol, only $900? You're stupid, you should buy a 62" cause it's b3tter."

"Um, you don't get it. I can't, I don't need it either. I just want a 36"."

"Noob, your so dumb. Without a 62" life is pointless. You should at least wait a while to get it so you can get it."

"I don't have space! What the hell is wrong with you?"

"WTF noob. How else will you watch the sweat drip of NBA pros?!?!"

"I don't care about that. I just need something basic."

"I'm not going to let you buy the 36" noob. You're a noob, and your interests totally don't matter. You should spend excessively for things you're never going to use."

"Well, anyways, since I see one, I think I'm going to go get it..."

"Noob, that's a 35"!!!"

*Walks away.*

Sound familiar? Yea, lay off, the guy made a good buy.

It's good to see people be content with what they have. I used to have a 6200 LE, and it worked nicely for most of what I did. However, I am a GLSL shader writer, and I needed a higher end video card. So I saved up and got a 7900 GS, which was a good purchase, and now I can do what I need to.

Good buy my friend.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

Heh, I got 6800. Active Camo is barely visible, and I do not look like transparent jelly. Indeed, my pistol was made of pure diamond when I first tried my GeForce 6800. I remembered Dalmedya with his qoute about "Having more pixels than real life!".

I am the proud owner of a 7600 GT. There I said it. You don't need much more than a 6200 to run todays games at a reasonable level. Its the perfect budget card for someone not ready to upgrade to PCI-e.

Hey thanks for understanding my point. It seems many retards out there likes to insult me by saying I made a wrong choice for buying something that actually works pretty well, and using DX10 as an excuse.

That's exactly the point I'm trying to get through people, but they're acting exactly like that dumb Walmart guy. I don't need something crazy like an 8800; I'm not such a graphic-whore who only cares about the graphics and never went out into the sun before, but I care about the performance and the budget rate. Sure, some eye candy is nice, but at a certain level, and the 6200LE can do all that: good enough graphics, good and constant performance, and good price/card for an AGP slot. So whoever wants to go at it again, and act like the typical loser who thinks they know everything about graphics card, don't even bother complaining. I bought it, I like it (hell, I LOVE it), and it wasn't your worthless decision.

Once again, thanks for the support dbzprogrammar. Thank you to everyone else, such as the3ford, Master Kim, The_Mard, BOSS_RC, etc. I can go on, but yeah, I don't remember everyone...=/

Sorry about that. Like I said, I couldn't remember everyone's name who have helped and supported me.

in my honest opinion, a 6200 really isn't worth it, especially when you can get an X800 or 7600 for $100 or less, but I guess if you don't play at resolutions higher then 800x600 it's ok. I'm using an X1900XTX myself, but I practically need more power for some games, since driving games with all the settings on high quality and with aa+af is a bit tough at 1680x1050.

Don't be an ass. Tell me where you can get said X800 or 7600 for $100 or less, please do. Oh, and if you couldn't tell, jerk, Ipjuunin's on an extremely tight budget, so let him be.

I, myself, am looking forward to getting an 8800. :)

Yah, and I'm saving up for a Radeon 7000. I won't want a DX10 card until 2008 at the earliest, so I am going to upgrade to DX 9 for a few games I want.

okay first off NOT bursting ur bubble : ) i dunno if you live with your parents or not, but if you do sucker em into buying a HP with a motherboard that has a 7300LE for a chipset. that'll give you another step up so you can play stuff like oblivion.

Be sure to check with this if you are unsure about your card. Just be warned that you shouldn't always believe what it says about processor requirements. According to it, I shouldn't be able to run B&W 2 on high quality, but guess what.....

I have a 6800GT :D

And CoD2 runs at about 100 fps on average (sometimes drops to 80, or goes up to 110+). Same with CS: Source.

7900 GS for the win!

240 FPS in CS : S with settings maxed. If I had a faster CPU and more RAM, my video card wouldn't get bottlenecked.

Anyways, it's a good video card, and I bought it so I wouldn't have to buy another for 3-4 years. Only a $120 too!

Fry's Electronic's Rebates for the win!

Anyways, the main reason is I do a lot of work with shaders and implementing them, and I need the power to do it.
