HardOCP has send word about their preview on the nVidia GeForce 6200. When nVidia launched their next generation NV40 GPU back in April they talked a lot about parallelism and scalability. They made sure it was known that this new architecture was capable of scaling in such a way that they could still offer every single feature of the high-end enthusiast level and bring those features all the way down to the entry-level market and price point that OEMs love best.
 nVidia GeForce 6200 Preview
nVidia today announced the new GeForce 6200 video card. The GeForce 6200 is nVidia's answer to the entry-level market. You will typically find this series of card for sale between $120 and $150. nVidia has taken all of the technology from the GeForce 6800 series and have successfully moved it into the hands of the entry-level mainstream consumer.
Looking at the gameplay evaluation we see the GeForce 6200 pulling ahead in most games compared to its competition. Keep in mind that ATI has yet to release a "new" entry-level video card so we thought that with the X700 series mainstream card out that the X600 would be closest to fitting the bill comparison-wise.
While we did not cover other uses for the 6200 here, it is full of features. Considering there is a possibility a passively cooled GeForce 6200, it could make an excellent video card for a home theater system or in a system where quiet computing is a must. The programmable video processor on board has a bevy of features that appeal to the home video/home theater enthusiast, which we
will be hearing a lot more about soon. Due to some changes at product launch, we were not able to share this with you today, but it looks very promising
