5200 V 4200

Hi all
What is a 5200 like compared to a 4200 when run at 1024 X 768 with no AA on?
Not for solid gaming,quite happy with my 4600 at 330/750 for that.Just the occasional
game,Jedi Knight 2,Medal of Honour and SoF 2 mainly

Ta for any inf

keep the 4200 . invest in a new card later on . reviews have shown that the
4200 is faster than a 5200. check on www.tomshardware.com and anadtech.com
and also on www.guru3dcom for the latest reviews.

The ti4200 is better. The FX5200 is on par with a GF3, but
only if it is the 128bit memory bus version. If it only has a 64bit
memory bus, it's no better than a MX card.

Thanks for the advice guys
Its only for the odd game now and then in my second rig
Can i presume the 128Mb version is 128 bit and the 64 Mb
version is 64 bit or is there more to it than that.

Definitly not. Their are a slew of 128MB cards with the
crippled 64bit memory bus. All of the 64MB cards are 64bit though, so
stay away from them for sure. You'll just have to make sure your
getting the true 128bit version. I'd suggest buying from a reputable
dealer as opposed to buying to buying from whoever has the best price.

Will check its 128bit before I buy it(if I do)

If you've got a 4200 the 5200 is a step backward. Don't waste your
money.

Then get a MX440...I had a chance to put a 5200 128m 128Bit card in a
system....It was jsut bad.
I put my old MX440 in same box and got slight improvement....better
FPS....and smoother gameplay.
Im really disappointeed that Nvidia did it again.
GF4 MX series/fx5200 cards are cheap but you truly get what ya paid for
I have a Ti4200 Chaintech in this machine clocked to 300/650 (Gold Edition
with factory ram sinks and killer fan) and it blew the 5200 Away.....using
Det 34.51 drivers and NVHardpage Tweak prog.
