Fx 5200 Good Enough?

[kazaaliterock]

i know livy posted a post comparing the 5200 to other but im thinking of buying this card. i was wondering if this is good enough to play most games today on high or med setting at 1024x768. i dont want to play doom3 or ne thing like that becuz im pretty sure doom3 is going to scare teh shit outa me.

so is it good enough to play games like bf1942 or splinter cell and games like that at med or high quality at 1024x768?

how bout the 9200se?

I'm pretty sure you can play all the games you want. Perhaps your gameplay would be improved with a more advanced card. It all comes down to budget.

my budget for the card isnt very much....actually its very little. i have about $80 left to spare for a card.

oh and the reason i want to play at the 1024x768 is becuz i have a lcd monitor ant tahts the max it can handle

so w/ the inno3d fx5200 128mb, could i play raven shield w/ that at 1024x768 at palyable fps? how bout games like splintercell or bf1942.....

ohhhhhh and could i play ffxi (the online final fantasy game ofr pc) w/ this card?

ohhhhhhh i just found a deal for a ati radeon 9200se 128mb version for 50 dollars (note it is the se version though) so would the 9200se be better then fx5200?

i got a Asylum GeForce 5200 for bout $85(US), it runs nice and smooth, quite too...plays max payne 2 and vice city great...havent tried any others yet..

thanx pirate. after looking at some reviews and benchmark i was a little bit scared to get the 5200 but now htat u said that...but i have got 3 more deals from pricewatch. they are all about the same price (5200 is 8 dollars more)

Ati radeon 9000 pro 64mb ddr (dx 8.1)
ati radeon 9100 pro 64mb ddr (dx 8.1)
ati radeon 9200se 128mb ddr (dx 8.1)
fx 5200 128 mb ddr (dx 9.0)

now of those four which should i get? they are all about the same price on pricewatch.com . so now im leaning toward the 5200 cuz of the extra memory and 9.0 support. so if u had $50, which would u spend it on?

EDIT: btw, this is kazaaliterock. i got sick of the name so i change it.

[raiserblade2003]

looked at some more reviews and ppl said that the 9000 pro was really fast adn ut2003 "flies" on that card. but the review i found were for the 128mb version. would my performance decrease that much if i bought teh 64mb version?

arg still cant figure out which card i should get

the gfx 5200 is fine for all the games. i have a AOpen Gfx 5200 128 mb. and it runs every game i have perfectly with everything on high. get it.
