you don't need anything more than 4x agp for the fx5200 :)

i've played ut2k3 at 2000x that other # resolution. works great. i get around 50-70 at least. and that's with everything on high too.

and no, i'm not advertising. i'm telling the truth to all this. besides, ut2k3 is old and the sys requirements were 32mb vd card. so, u know, there is no way this card won't run uk2k3.

i never played morrowind, but i'm pretty sure those graphics aren't anywhere near those of kotor. so u'll be fine

yea. some pny and asylum gfx 5200s might have a fan. but u dont really need one unless u oc it. i don't need to oc it, so i didn't. i prefer to let the buyer oc it to his/her needs.

@raiserblade:
when i got this card, it didn't come with a svideo-rca switchy thingy. so u'll have to get that urself. it's like $1-3 at radioshack

Quick question, not trying to hijack the thread or anything :D ...did anyone else who bought an FX 5200 have to d/l the 52.16 driver to get it to work? ...I did, it wouldn't stay installed or work properly untill I got that driver...

screenshots will tell you very little of the gaming performance of a certain system spec

a better guage would be an ingame video, taken with a program such as FRAPS (however, the act of taking the video will slow down the system) :)

oh and do you guys think i will se ne big difference betweent the abu's 5200 and my pci mx-440se 64mb ddr? im guessign it wont be that big cuz the 5200 is also a budget card.

roflmao i got 117 on 3dmark03 rofl. so if the 5200 does like 1500 or 100 , its still like 10x better then this card. now to try 3dmark01

i get around 1400 on 3dmark03 with the gfx 5200 (not oced). it'll definetly be better than the mx440.

detonator 52. something is the latest official one. there might be betas. but those tend to be flawed

raiserblade2003

it play the first level fine at 800x600 w/ texture pack set to high. but then after the "escape pod" crashes and we have to go find that one lady in the alien city (level 2) it was unplayable....and i mean UNPLAYABLE . it was basically a slide show.

but he said it works best

Meaning you could crank it up and get in a huge firefight without slowdown

can your FX5200 do that at 1280x720, all effects turned up?
