CNET editors' buying advice

We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Graphics Cards. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of graphics card.

Media Center Graphics Card

One of the popular attempted 'convergence devices' of recent years is the media center PC. This can range from a computer with a normal monitor that can receive TV signals, to a central media server that can send movies to the main TV itself. A media center graphics card needs to be capable of outputting signals in a form with which TVs are likely to be compatible.

VGA Explanation

VGA cables (and CRT monitors) use an analog signal. Both video cards and modern LCD monitors internally use digital signals. This means that when using a VGA cable with an LCD monitor, the signal is being converted from digital to analog and back again. Currently, converters are good enough that it isn't a real issue, but technically the signal is being degraded every time it is converted. So if you are using an LCD monitor that supports DVI, it is best to get a graphics card that does the same and to use a DVI cable.

CNET product brief

Description: The PNY Verto GeForce 6200 is a 256 MB, mainstream 3D card.Compared to other mainstream 3D display cards on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $65.

Pros: This graphics card is capable of running the Microsoft's new Aero interface introduced in Windows Vista Home Premium and Ultimate.

Cons: Has only a nVidia GeForce 6200 chipset, which is less advanced than some similarly priced display cards.For example, the ASUS GeForce 8500 GT, a 256 MB graphics card at around $70, is built around a nVidia GeForce 8500 GT chipset.Also, this graphics card only has an AGP 8x interface, which is slower than some similarly priced display cards.

Suitability: Suited for all productivity tasks, as well as for the casual 3D gamer.This card supports DirectX 9 technology, which is still the standard for those who want to play games with advanced 3D-rendering techniques, but it does not support Vista's DirectX 10 standard.

Value: In general, this graphics card's features are as expected for this price.

Suggestions: (1) This card has DVI-out to connect to similarly enabled flat panel or plasma monitors and produce a clearer picture than does analog-to-digital conversion.(2) For Editor's Reviews of the latest graphics cards, visit the graphics and sound section of CNET's website.
