The FX 5200 is MUCH slower than the Ti4200; no comparison. The 5200 is the
FX ENTRY level card for Nvidia. The 4200 was up the scale of Nvidia cards
back then.
I'm afraid you wasted your money.

Hi

I recently bought a new Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 because my GeForce 4 Ti
4200's fan was going out. I was looking on the Nvidia website and
realized that the GeForce 4 TI 4200 is statistically better than the FX
5200 by a longshot. Is this a misinterpretation by my part because I
assumed that the newer FX's would make all TI's obsolete. I also assumed
the FX was better because the price on a TI 4200 right now is
signifigantly cheaper.

If anyone knows which card is better than the other, please reply. Id love
to hear what you have to say.
And if anyone knows a way to install a RELIABLE heat sink on my Ti 4200
that would be appreciated. (Perhaps how to install a heatsink on the GPU?
It doesnt sound like this card can take much more of a faulty fan right
now...)

I sure hope i didnt spend $80 on a signifigantly slower card...

Thanks in advance...
