Thank you all for your replys (especialy you dray_02 , & I think you know why , you have the 5200).
But no-one even tried to answer my question except Virtualbody1234.

Is the FX5200 better than the 9200SE or are they both same ?

To be honest with you:

both of those cards are not capable of pretty much anything

If you tell us your budget we will try to find you a viable solution.

Here's my current (old) video card:

Video Adapter nVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 (Asus AGP-V7100)
GPU Code Name NV11
PCI Device 10DE / 0110
Transistors 19 million
Process Technology 0.18u
Bus Type AGP
Memory Size 64 MB
GPU Clock 200 MHz
RAMDAC Clock 350 MHz
Pixel Pipelines 2
TMU Per Pipeline 2
Vertex Shaders Not Supported
Pixel Shaders 1 (v0.5)
DirectX Hardware Support DirectX v7.0
Pixel Fillrate 400 MPixel/s
Texel Fillrate 800 MTexel/s

Memory Bus Properties
Bus Type SDR
Bus Width 128-bit

The budget is depending on how much my parrents want to spend, but I think it's arround $100 (maybe more)

EDIT: Thanks for help

You have to give me a minute, I am looking now okay? B)

Alright dude, if $100 is the most you can spend, and you live in the US, the card below is way better than the others you brought up:

SAPPHIRE RADEON 9600 Video Card, 128MB DDR, 128-bit, DVI/TV-Out, 8X AGP -RETAIL





It is the retail box, so you get the warranty and everything. I don't know how well you will be able to play games, but you will be able to play them. If you could squeeze $140USD out of mom and pops you could really be gaming. Let us know if you can get $140 USD, okay?

Why is this card better? Firstly because it is not the SE model. It is basically a crippled 9600 Pro. What are the differences between the SE and the non SE:

1. The 9600 SE has a 64 bit memory interface while the 9600 has a 128 bit memory interface that will make a big difference

Edit: and some advice for you:

The #1 and #2 hardware stores on the internet are:


#1: Newegg

#2 Zipzoomfly.com

I think we have a winner for this week's prize for 'most horrifically uninformed post'

First of all, I don't live in the USA, I'm from Europe.
Second thing, I want to buy some guitar-hardware for my electric guitar, and I don't want to spend all my money for a damn gf card.I will spend a max. of $100

If I can get the guitar hardware cheaper I'll maybe be able to spend more money on the card ...

For now it's a max. of $100 for the gf card, couse I like to jam with my friends more than to sit in front of a monitor and play games ...

Let's Rock !!!

I was thinking the same thing.I have the Sapphire radeon 9200se and I have no probs with it at all.I had a Radeon 7500 64bm DDR but I couldn&#39;t get past a couple of spots in Call of Duty becasue it just couldn&#39;t keep up.I bought the 9200se and all is well.It doesn&#39;t do to well on 3dmark2001 or anything like that but for the average gamer it is pretty decent.
