I just bought this card : Nvidia geforce fx 5200 256mb

and I wanted to know if it is worth what I paid for it. ($86)

How close is this card to the geforce ti video cards and how big of a step is this from my gefroce mx 420 64mb? <_<

I wouldnt get that card. The clock speeds on it are low, although you have lots of memory you will hardly ever use that. i would get the ati radeon 9600 pro 128mb instead of the 5200, as it has faster clock speeds etc

When you play a game like need for speed underground with both those cards (nvidia geforce fx5200 256mb - Ati Radeon 9600 pro 128mb) would you be able to tell any difference in quality or performance between those two cards while playing the game?

I bought that exact card for just about the exact same price.

I was up grading from a gefore 2 64mb that came with my computer.

I was excepting a serious performance enhancment for gaming.

I was barley able to notice anything.

I returned the card and bought a

FX 5600 for about 130.

i dont have either, but i think the 9600 will be faster and maybe better quality (with whatever card you use always get the omega drivers, there alot better than the normal ones)

As you can see everything on the fx 5200 is better except the RamDac: Ati 400mhz Gefroce 350mhz.

So just the fact that the ati is 50mhz faster it makes it better than the fx5200?

if you look closely, he said 9600 pro.... you show the specs for an SE.... radeons range from 3 models for each number usually.... for this card it would be, 9600 SE, 9600, and 9600 Pro.... those are ranging from worst to best, you posted the stats for the worst card, he suguested the best.

Ok sorry my bad. The ati Radeon 9600 pro 128mb has even better benchmarks than the nvidia geforce fx5600 128mb. I would of got the ati radeon 9600 pro but it is like double the price of the one I got.

The card I ordered (geforce fx5200 256mb) isnt here yet so right now I am using a geforce 4 mx 420 and im playing the game Lord of The Rings - return of the king and it skips alot when there are explosions and stuff. Do you think after I get my new card and put it will skip at all?

yer my geforce fx5200 128mb 8Xagp card isnt that great ay. it may be because my motherboard only supports 4agp. LOTR - i have set the resolution to the very lowest... <_<

I dont think its the cards fault, its probably your Motherboard.

My old CPU was a 750Mhz Duron and my video card was a Geforce2 mx200 64mb and it ran most of my games nicely.

I got a Geforce4 MX440 64mb and it ran SOOOOOOOO much faster than my old card.

I decided to give my old video card to my nephew wich has a 750mhz celeron and supermicro board and it hardly run anything.

So dont blame the cards. Its most likely the CPU or the motherboard.

Also it depends on what brand it is too. I wont by any Nvidia card unless its a leadtek.

BWT guys, have a look at this card. Its a damn beast and costs over $3000!!!! :o

Damn i had the clock speeds of it but i lost the url and my net is running crap and cant find it :(

But this card is a beast and has 256MB ddr2 ram :o

I wouldnt recomend the 5200 at all, considering the performance increase you get from the old 4200 it isnt worth it.

i though the 5200 was worst then the ti 4200.

oh and triad, how are u gonna start swearing at me for replying to your post. you said you bought the card and when i reply you then said you havent.....how the hell am i suppose to know that.
12-08-2003, 11:21 PM

I said that I bought it but I dont have it yet. Im sorry for swearing I wasnt having the best day and I kinda wish there was something good to say about the 5200 I just bought but dont have yet. ;)
