its old, slow and never was good value for money - Radeon 9600xt = good value last time i looked, but i think i'm getting old

not sure about Far Cry, look up its official website to find its requirements

You will find it is a little slow for Far Cry. And 256MB is a waste, you won't ever use it on a card of that performance.

The fact that you are considering a card like that suggest that like me you have a limited budget. You would be better off with less graphics memory (128MB) and a faster GPU.

See the pinned thread for more advice.

Check out my graphics card guide to find which cards are good...the 9200 is horrible though.

How much can you spend?

if u recently bought it, i would return it and get something a bit faster, a 9600 probably...or even a 5200, offers very close performance but doesnt far cry need direct x 9 support? in which case the 5200 will be able to play it... (9200 has no direct x 9 support)
