Nvidia 5200 Go AGP 4X Vs 128MB ATI Radeon 9600 PRO
Hi
Which video card should I get to run with my Centrino 1.6ghz processor? 64MB DDR nVidia® GeForceTM FX Go5200 Go AGP 4X or 128MB ATI Radeon 9600 PRO I was thinking that the bottleneck may be the 1.6ghz processor, so it wouldn't make much difference upgrading to the 9600 pro graphics. Also, can you EASILY overclock the Go5200 graphics to a similar speed, therefore making upgrading to 9600 pro pointless? Yes, I realise these a mobile graphics, but im considering this as part of buying a notebook. Cheers Michael |

HAHA 5200 is the worst card and a mobile version will be utterly
terrible.... at least 9600 pro is respectable, for a notebook that is... id say, without any fact sheets in front of me, the 9600 pro is 3 times faster than the 5200 in games, though with the 9600 pro u cant play most new games anyway as with amd and pentium cpus, clock speed is not everything. if u oc the 5200 to 9600 pro speeds, it will still be much slower.

With a 5200 the answer is not very. With a 9600 pro the answer is faster. Neither of these GPU`s are the best out there but they are cheap. Both support enough features of DX9 to make games look good. A 9600pro is much faster than a 5200 (i`ve had both)and is a better bet than the 5200. |

5200 can play games like doom 3, bf vietnam, and others, BUT it will be like
