Title: 5200 128 vs geforce3 ti200 64 mb in ah2
Post by: ergRTC on February 17, 2004, 12:48:17 PM

Dont go trading that geforce3 in.

I was building a puter for somebody else and swapped out my old g3 to see if I got an improvement.  Went from 44 in the tower, to 22.  In the plane I get 30-75 (pegged) with my g3.  25 max with the 5200.

Ugghh.  I think I will keep my old card till I find a used geforce 4 ti 4600



btw
pent4 2.8ghz
512 megs ram

Hap you ever have problems with that sound card?  I have a santa cruz and it seems to sound a little muted once in awhile.

not actually muted, but the sound will get a little quiet once in a while, just barely noticable.

Save your money for a Gf FX5900 and upper.

 The series FX5200~5800, are sort of 'in-between' cards, which came out during the 'transition' phases between Gf4 and GfFX - they're not bad, but not really cost-efficient. One would rather buy the best of Gf4 Ti cards, than FX5200~5800.

 Now, as for FX5900 and upper, it's a new ball game. The prices are dropping, but it's still a little bit expensive... but, it's worth the money invested. (Although the card is huge, with generally two cooling fans and a lot of noise..)

AH2 is a strange beast that yields great performance to mediocre nVidia cards, and crappy performance to top-of-the-line ATI Radeon cards that normally rule the roost in every other game.
