I have seen two cards on a website:
- Creative 3D Blaster 9200SE, AGP, Retail
- Creative 3D Blaster FX5200, AGP, Retail

The ATI 9200SE costs $78 & the GeForce FX5200 is $95, but the 9200SE has seems to be better than the FX5200, but costs more.

Take a look:

The 9200 costs less because its the SE version (crappened down, basically).

Instead of always saying that stuff is shit, why don&#39;t you answer the question.

Ati makes the chip for the 9200SE and Nvidia makes the chip for the FX5200. Both companies have different pricing strategies.

9200se is cheaper becuz all se card are 64-bit memory bandwidth

Thank you all for your replys (especialy you dray_02 , & I think you know why :lol: , 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.

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

Alright dude, if &#036;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 (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-102-289&catalog=48&depa=1)

http://images10.newegg.com/productimage/14-102-289-09.JPG

http://images10.newegg.com/productimage/14-102-289-10.JPG

It is the retail box, so you get the warranty and everything. I don&#39;t know how well you will be able to play games, but you will be able to play them. If you could squeeze &#036;140USD out of mom and pops you could really be gaming. Let us know if you can get &#036;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

First of all, I don&#39;t live in the USA, I&#39;m from Europe.
Second thing, I want to buy some guitar-hardware for my electric guitar, and I don&#39;t want to spend all my money for a damn gf card.I will spend a max. of &#036;100

If I can get the guitar hardware cheaper I&#39;ll maybe be able to spend more money on the card ...

For now it&#39;s a max. of &#036;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 ... :P

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.

That&#39;s right, I live in Bosnia.
Convertible Mark are same as the German curency was before they got Euros.


1EU = 1.95583 KM &#40;KM=Convertible Mark&#41;

But that doesen&#39;t matter much.Tell me if I can buy a good/cheap gf card that will ship to Europe (Shops in Europ prefered)

Dark Ride, my suggestion for you is then not to attempt to play games on your PC quite yet, as the card I linked above is the absolute minimum you need to get a half decent framerate.

Save your money for a bit until you can afford a decent card because otherwise its just like wasting your money.

I do not understand some of you guys. I am telling the kid to save his money. Is that wrong?

Just because you guys think something does not mean I agree, right?

And I noticed in that quote that Mr. Lamsey erased the line where I added:

"Tell us your budget and we will see if we can find a viable solution." And when you quoted him quoting me you furthered the same injustice. That is the same crap reporters do; they edit out what someone says that makes them look good and then just keep the crap part. What BS.

The real issue is honesty. I am trying to answer his question, yet one of his premises is faulty. And we all know we cannot have any contradictions, we must check our premises.

He should save his money until he can purchase a quality part. That is my opinion. Maybe I understand you wrong, but it sounds like my opinion is now up for debate.

I didn&#39;t edit anything from Lamsey&#39;s post.

I&#39;m just pointing out that there are thousands of gamers (if not millions) that have less than a GeForce FX5200 and can still play games. The way you say it is that the card is useless but that&#39;s not completely true.

Sure I agree that to have a better card would be better for game play but not everyone can afford tha kind of money.

adamp2p
01-31-2004, 12:56 AM
I see.
I am just suggesting for the kid to get a little more money together so he will really appreciate his card, rather than just accept its mediocre ability to perform. I mean what is the point of an upgrade if the improvement is marginal at best? That&#39;s like me going to upgrade from a &#036;229 [todays market value of 9800 pro] to a &#036;450 9800 XT. The 10% at best increase would not be noticeable.

i say go out and buy it. Either one is fine. I&#39;m running on a 128mb 8500 Radeon and it fine. It play all the the newest game. Both card should be able to run all the newest game perfectly fine without lag (unless ur computer is already crap). ur FR might but lower but it not like it lagging on every frame.


There no point in saving ur money to buy a more expensive card, when by tomorrow it, a newer and more power card come out. buy the card and enjoy the fun of gaming. I help a friend by a 9200se and it work fine. (the reason i choose 9200se over the 5200fx is that some of the 5200fx don&#39;t have a DVI connector for the LCD flat screen. The 9200se is good for dual monitor and LCD support.

If I sad I can spend &#036;250, I guess you all would say " oh wait , save more money and buy a Radeon 9800Pro".And if I said I have &#036;300 to spend you would say "save money and buy a 9800XT" and so on.Am I right ?? or what &#33;?&#33;?

I&#39;m doing very well with my current GeForce 2 MX/MX 400 64MB and I can play most of the newest games (like Max Payne 2, NFSU, THPS4, etc).I want a better card (not the best) that will run the games smoother than my old card.You know??

As I&#39;m happy with my current card, the FX5200 (or similar) can&#39;t be worst than my GF2 ?? am I not right ?

I gues this topic didn&#39;t helped me in any way.

I&#39;m doing very well with my current GeForce 2 MX/MX 400 64MB and I can play most of the newest games (like Max Payne 2, NFSU, THPS4, etc).I want a better card (not the best) that will run the games smoother than my old card.You know??

As I&#39;m happy with my current card, the FX5200 (or similar) can&#39;t be worst than my GF2 ?? am I not right ?

I gues this topic didn&#39;t helped me in any way.


i say go out and buy it. Either one is fine. I&#39;m running on a 128mb 8500 Radeon and it fine. It play all the the newest game. Both card should be able to run all the newest game perfectly fine without lag (unless ur computer is already crap). ur FR might but lower but it not like it lagging on every frame.


There no point in saving ur money to buy a more expensive card, when by tomorrow it, a newer and more power card come out. buy the card and enjoy the fun of gaming. I help a friend by a 9200se and it work fine. (the reason i choose 9200se over the 5200fx is that some of the 5200fx don&#39;t have a DVI connector for the LCD flat screen. The 9200se is good for dual monitor and LCD support.

GO SPEND UR MONEY&#33;&#33;&#33;

pichan916, I think your completely right.Thanx :offtopic:
No, if you had &#036;250 I would say buy a 9800 Pro and save &#036;20, as the 9800 Pro now costs only &#036;230.

The difference between your current card and both of the cards you mentioned would be marginal at best (not worth it, save your money). That is just my suggestion, though.

He isnt in the US, so newegg wouldnt work.

And Dark Ride, I seriously dont hope you post here alot in the future, you have burned alot of bridges snuffing us off, we were just telling what would be best, if your not going to go all the way on buying a decent graphics card, than you will just end up buying one later, after already having a shitty one for a short period of time.

I&#39;m soooo pissed of about the fuc*in&#39; gf card & all your opinions.All you do is ,suggesting the people to "save money & buy better hardware".
No real tips or help.

You make me sick, all of you , except a few realy nice people. :angry:

I hope this answers your original question:

In this test, even an 8500 beats the 5200 and 9200 (a non-SE 9200 too&#33;&#33;).

Get a Ti4600 if you want great performance (but some DX9 support missing) at a cheap price.
