Worth upgrading an GeForice 4 MX440 to FX 5200?
 

Is it worth replacing my MX440 (64Mb) with an FX5200 (128Mb)? I appreciate
that this FX is bottom of the range. But would it make any difference to my
graphics performance?

Cheers.

The 5200 is good for about a 30% gain in frame rate over a GF4mx400. But
other things need to be considered. What CPU do you have?

Hi Dave, I have an Athlon 2000XP with 540Mb RAM and 60Gb (ATA 133) HD.

I just made that upgrade... very well worth it ~if~ you play games (I play
UT)... also OpenGL screen savers, etc are much nicer and smoother. :) Not
the best reason in the world to upgrade though... depends on you.

I guess so, but most importantly you will get DX8 features making your games
nicer (DX9 is hardly supported by any games yet but you get that also).

2000+? Definately go for the upgrade. If you are a serious gamer then you
might want to spend a little more and get a GF4ti4200 or even a GFX5600
Ultra.
