Need information on XFX Model

bradleyp · 06-21-2007, 07:30 AM

I HAVE SEEN 2 Geforce XFX Graphic card MODELS IN THE MARKET

ONE MODEL XFX 5200 DDR 1 IS standard PROFILE

while the other one XFX 6200 DDR 2 IS Mentioned LOW PROFILE

What the differnece between low and standard profile.

Which is better & what do both terms mean.

I dont know

Please reply

Which one is better to buy & both are mentioned Vista Certified so no problem .

BUT WHY THE NEW MODEL IS LOW PROFILE
and the older one is standard profile.

I checked the XFX website there most graphic cards are Standard profile.

SO SHOULD I GO AHEAD AND PURCHASE 6200 LOW PROFILE GRAPHIC CARD OR NOT.

HELP ON THIS MATTER

Hi,
AFAIK, low profile means the card is smaller - i.e. the height is reduced to fit almost all cases/motherboards and has nothing to do with the cards performance. So - go for the 6200.
