XFX GeForce 6200: Supports Shader 2.0?

[d3v]

Hi, my FX card does not support shader 2 properly and so Oblivion plays like crap.

Does anyone know if the XFX GeForce 6200 supports shader 2 properly?

Also how many pipes are on this thing and how does it differ to the next model up, the 6600?

Cheers.

6 series all support up to Shader Model 3.0.

6200 has 4 pipes, and the 6600 has 8 pipes.

If you are thinking of playing oblivion, I strongly suggest you get /at least/ a 6600GT, and a 6800XT (the XFX XTreme version with GDDR3 off of Newegg) or 6800GS for best results.

If you do go for the 6200, try not to get the RAM-eating TurboCache version.

yes, spend a little more to get a decent card. Try not to save that $30.
