* - These graphics cards are given only for comparison purposes. There are very few or none of them left in the market today.

1 ?These graphics cards were introduced last February. However, they disappeared from the list of NVIDIA’s products and have never got into the market.

2 ?This frequency is not strictly defined and depends on the manufacturer only.

3 ?This graphics card doesn’t support SLI mode.

4 ?This graphics card hasn’t been officially announced because the use of additional PCI-E/AGP bridge hasn’t been justified for a value graphics card. However, some vendors, such as MSI, for instance, are still offering this solution.

5 ?The number in brackets is the overall size of the addressed frame-buffer, most of which is in the system memory.

6, 7 ?These graphics cards are equipped with a PCI-E/AGP bridge.

8 ?The chip on this graphics card features integrated AGP support.

9 ?It is quite possible that all GeForce 6200 AGP graphics cards will feature only 64-bit memory access.

10 ?Even though the graphics card has been officially announced, no specification details have been revealed except for the amount of supported onboard memory.

11 ?NV41 is a modification of NV40 with cut-down number of “physical?pipelines. NV42 is a modification of NV41 manufactured with 110nm technology.

12 ?The frequencies haven’t been strictly specified and are determined by the graphics card vendors.

13 ?No AGP version of this graphics card is planned.

14 ?The only difference between this graphics card and the old 6200 based on the cut-down NV43 chip modification is the SLI support. The recommended frequencies haven’t been specified.

15 ?The only difference between this graphics card and the 6800 LE is the SLI support.
