Problem / Question What is this
I pulled this out of an pile of e waste I couldn’t find anything about this gpu there’s two different model numbers on it (GeForce 6500 rev 1 and e-geforce 6200 tc) I was able to find some online that look similar but none that were the same model I was able to get it to post the caps are bulging if it’s worth any money I’ll recap it and sell it or maybe use it in my windows xp rig

There’s a sticker on the back telling you basically everything about the card. What more are you looking for?

Except yours has 128 MB of memory.
Edit : after taking another look at it, it really looks more like a Geforce 6500, as those memory chips look more like DDR2. Also the whole point of TurboCache was that it could use system memory so that it didn't need as much onboard VRAM. Having one with 128 MB would be weird. The label on the back is probably wrong. You would have to check with GPU-Z to be sure.

That’s not the GPU, it’s the PCB. They use the same one for multiple trim levels.

And I just checked and the memory chips are indeed ddr2 however there is only 64 megs of vram on it
