What people are saying about the GeForce 6200 with TurboCache:

"The GeForce 6200 with TurboCache technology is the fastest sub-$100 graphics card we have ever tested." - PC Perspective

"This gives casual consumers the ability to see what having a 'real' graphics (processor) is like." - Anandtech

"It brings the very same feature set found on the flagship GeForce 6800 Ultra down to a very affordable price point. The GeForce 6200 with TurboCache is also a very power efficient design that surpasses the capabilities of virtually all integrated graphics processors." - Hot Hardware

How Does it Work?
The revolutionary TurboCache technology utilizes the additional bandwidth of the PCI Express graphics bus to reach higher levels of graphics performance than traditional video memory solutions, delivering the performance and features you expect from NVIDIA graphics hardware. By allowing the graphics processing unit (GPU) to share the capacity and bandwidth of dedicated video memory and dynamically available system memory, TurboCache turbocharges performance and provides larger total graphics memory.

 

Key features of the TurboCache architecture:

  • Patented hardware and software technologies that render directly to system memory
  • A TurboCache Manager (TCM), which dynamically allocates memory for maximum system performance
  • Intelligent software algorithms that maximize application performance
  • Bidirectional PCI Express® bandwidth, in conjunction with TurboCache architecture, which improves graphics price/performance

Through its unique ability to render directly to system memory, TurboCache fundamentally redefines the price/performance of desktop and notebook PC graphics solutions. With the innovative TurboCache technology from NVIDIA, users looking for an affordable desktop or thin and light notebook solution can now experience the latest graphics and video features of the GeForce 6 and 7 Series GPUs, without compromise.
