They're only 50 bucks but if I can't play T3 on it, doesn't seem much point buying it, anyone else use this card ?
Thanks

I personally don't recommend 6200. 256 MB memory may attract you, but 6200 is generally quite a stripped version of its more - and not so expensive either- powerful sisters.
It's DDR2 is slower than f.e. 6600GT with 128 MB DDR3 and it uses really obsolete 64-bit interface.

If you want a decent and cheap mainstream card, go for 6600GT (if you must nVidia anyway). I have it for few months and certainly won't get rid of it for next 2 years. It's a great card for my modest demands.

I'm sorry if this subject was broached earlier, I didn't have time to search
Glad I never bought it now

I have a Geforce 6600GT. I think it's minimal for 1280x1024 2xAA 2xAnosotropic. On, ebay they are often $75.
If you run at lower resolution, it might be fine, but using an LCD monitor at other than it's native resolution isn't nice.
Thief 3 is a nice looking game, especially with John P.s textures.

Agreed.
Hmm... I never play it with hardware AA/AF, I like to play it at 1280x1024 and turn the ingame multisampling to 2, but it makes the framerate drop below 25 often.
I wonder what would be dropping performance down more, hardware AA or ingame multisampling?
