i have a mx440 and it struggles playing halo at med setting on 800x600....w/ aa and af off.
you should see it on morrowind...but it only has 64mb so that might be why
so the 5200 is a ok choice than....or should i get a mx440 since its a lot cheaper....oh wait, i heard the new splintercell dont support mx440
woowoo
Don't get an mx440, get AT THE VERY LEAST a 5200.Originally posted by Mr. Elmo@30 March 2004 - 22:43

The reason why the mx440 isnt supported by splinter cell is most likely becuase it doesn't support direct x 9, but the 5200 does so it should be fine..
Oh and why did u ask if u should buy a mx440 if u already have one?

@Bigdawg, maybe mine is like a supercharged mx440 lol, i can play both games on full...maybe because yours is PCI??
Edit: Plus my card is OC'd quite a bit...but i also have AA and AF on their heightest settings (AA:4x AF:2x lol)

yea, that sux that it died on you. i also have a 9500 pro, and thankfully mine hasnt done that yet. now that i read your post, i think ill go ahead and get a GPU cooler, cuz i have always felt that this card was under cooled, specially since i OC my comp.
haha , mine just went dead prob cuz the previous owner oc it or something....but yea, i think u should get a fan for it.Originally posted by Mïcrösöül°V³@31 March 2004 - 04:40

Seems very strange if you have Halo 1024x768 full settings and some AA and AF. Even really high end cards struggle on Halo, which is strange since its a 3 year old Xbox game. I haven't played with the newer patches though, so megh.
EDIT: Try go for an FX5700 if possible. Froogle Search for FX 5700 (Froogle = Google's price searcher)
whhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa have i been away taht long that there is a 5500 now? are u sure its only 50 though? let me do some shopping but im sure its higher since the 5200 alone is 65....the 64 bit one is a bit higher than 50.Originally posted by atiVidia@31 March 2004 - 18:00

EDIT: atividia....YOU LIAR lol....all the 5500 are $100 and its all 256mb (which i dont need, since im pretty sure the card wont take advantage of that much memory) once again, YOU LIAR
