GeForce Go 6200 + Gaming = Good to Go?
Man, I love alliteration, but whatever.....
To simply put, how decent is a GeForce Go 6200 at the latest games? I'm not asking if it's good for FEAR and stuff, but decent at something like AOE3 or CS:Source would make me happy enough. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
AOE3 or CS Source should be okay... not great and not good, just ok. I would imagine that you could play Source with no bloom or HDR, no AA, no AF, low shaders, at 1024x768 or 800x600 depending on the framerates you want.
AOE3 will probably do just fine as that is made to run ok on integrated graphics which are a piece compared to any video card. So, to answer you're question, a 6200 Go is a passable or ok choice for a budget gamer. Laptop gaming is hard to get at good framerates anyway, so just don't expect miracles. I've got a MacBookPro with a x1600 256MB and it runs Source at 1440x900 with bloom and high settings with no AA and 4xAF. I get about 30fps that way. So even the best laptops arent that great with games.

MacBook laptops aren't great for gaming.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
First off, of fucking course an X1600 card is going to do better than a 6200, the X1600 is a more recent chipset. However, the 6200 chipset isn't so far behind that it's going to do terrible with games practically made during it's generation. It shouldn't do "just OK," it should be "easilly just fine." I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Ok, I'm confident it bests my old Radeon Xpress 200M on my original notebook, now, does it being in a Tablet cripple it in anyway?
I was speaking idiomatically. |
@ Stealth
You are correct. MacBooks are not good for gaming. MacBook PROS however are because they have great hardware for gaming (Intel Core Duo @ 2Ghz, 1GB DDR2 RAM, 256MB X1600). If you didnt notice, it plays Source games excellently.
And lastly I was comparatively giving him information on what my laptop can do with Source so that he can better see what kind of performance he can expect from a 6200 Go, being that a 6200Go is a step down from the medium to low budget card bracket, and a generation older. @ Omnislash124: Being in a tablet shouldn't affect it at all. And yes, a 6200Go will be MUCH better than a Xpress200m. You will actually have a framerate .
