GeForce 6200A vs MOBILITY RADEON 9200: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce 6200A

2015

Why buy it

  • +33.3% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • 98.4% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (128 MB vs 65 MB).
  • Draws 33W instead of 50W, a 17W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • 2015 hardware with 128 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 0.1 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $49 MSRP).
  • 16700% longer card at 168mm vs 1mm.

MOBILITY RADEON 9200

2010

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 0.1 vs 0 G3D/$ ($49 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • Measures 1mm instead of 168mm, a 167mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (3 vs 4).
  • Less VRAM, with 65 MB vs 128 MB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2010 hardware with 65 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
