I'm thinking Nvidia needs to step in and put a stop to all this confusion.
It's giving their 5200 chip a bad name. If properly configured, it does
have the ability to best the GF3.

So now I know to avoid the 5200 like the plague!

Stephen, who'll stick with his trusty GF3, thank-you-very-much.


Sadly I'd be more than happy to of simply replaced my old gf3 with a new
of
exact same but OCZ doesnt make em anymore so was no way to get a straight
swap. At this point almost wish Id said send me the gf4MX over this 5200.
Anyway contacted both Gainward and Nvidia about it will see what happens.
Seems to me they, gainward, should be FORCED to post clearly on the box as
to which mem path the enclosed card uses. I went thru every bit of
documentation that was included as well as anything written on the box and
absolutly no where is the speed mentioned which to me is decptive in and
of
itself.
