New Video card comparison?
I have a question about these two cards. Which one would be the better upgrade for my e310. I don't know anything about memory interfaces and clock speeds, I just want the one that will work the best.
Or,
Thanks.

I am going to try this again, I messed up the hyperlinks

and,- Having Tried both
The BFG 6200 card I tried was 5v PCI.
Newer systems with PCI 2.3 slots support 3.3v only.
I think this is why there are black horizontal dots problems with the 6200 card.
The GPU ram interface on the 6200 is 64 bit whereas the 5500 is 128 bit GPU.
The 6200 scores 7fps better than the 5500 on some testzs.
Revision 2.3 is an Huge change to the PCI Local Bus Specification. Revision 2.3 makes a significant step in migrating the PCI bus from the original 5.0 volt signaling to a 3.3 volt signaling bus. Revision 2.3 supports the 5V and 3.3V keyed system board connectors (as did revision 2.2) but revision 2.3 supports only the 3.3V and Universal keyed add-in cards. The 5V keyed add-in card is not supported in revision 2.3. PCI 66, PCI-X, Mini PCI, and Low Profile PCI support only 3.3 volt signaling on 3.3V keyed system board connectors and 3.3V and Universal keyed add-in cards.
High performance technologies power the logic within the chips with 3.3 or lower voltages. The newer high performance technologies cannot support 5 volt compatible signaling on the off-chip drivers. As a result, the host bridge needs to migrate to 3.3 volt signaling with 3.3V keyed system board connectors. Removing support for 5V keyed add-in cards is the first step in the migration to 3.3 volt signaling systems and ensures revision 2.3 compliant add-in cards will be usable in 3.3V keyed system board connectors.

I would go with the 6200 i did not have any problems at all in my E310 with this card and it did great on F.E.A.R. which by the way does anyone wanna buy it for 20dollars plus shipping i beat it.
The 6200 is newer and better and from chumbo is almost the same price as the 5500
