I bought a 569$ vid card j/w if my old 1 was any good

I had one for a while.
Had no problems to speak of with it

I had a GeForce 4 Ti4200 64MB. I bought a FX5200 128MB after the GF4 died. I had worse performance. I returned it that day.

Ive got a FX5200. As soon as I get the money for a new one, its going in the trash.

So maybe a better question would be, what is the best bang for buck video card?

RAIDER14 · « **Reply #7 on:** December 22, 2005, 10:46:14 PM »

are there any FPS issues with the FX5200 if so how can I fix them?

Mine works fine for AH. Get about 25-30fps in a big furball, 20 or so in thick smoke.

But, I also have 2GB ram and a 3.2 P4.

If you're buying new, don't get a 5200. They can't run just about any new games coming out now and will probably be completely obsolete in a few months.

I'm using one right now. Its a pretty low end card, but I'm getting playable FR with it

P4 2.6Ghz
768 mb ram (could use more)
FX5200 128mb

Use the 61.77 drivers
run in 128 bit
1024X768
all sliders to performance.

Not great but playable.

If you can afford a better card, I highly recommend you do so. But if its all you have, it will work.

cheers,
RTR

What FPS do they get with FS2004?

I disagree with the nay sayers, I have been using a 5200 128mg video card for a year now, I get about 40fps, AMD 2400 1gig of ram, no overclocking nothing fancy.

you could have 65-85 fps with a ati 9550 or 9600 pro ... and hi res on a 9800 256 or better card..

RAIDER14 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 23, 2005, 01:35:19 AM »
