You went to a less powerful card, therefore the scores went down.

Like the others said: GF 3 Ti 500 is "better" then a FX5200 .... I know it's
sounds crazy but is is true. It all caused by the marketing trick NVidia is
doing: let it sound if all the FX cards are the best, yet do not mention the
fact that some FX cards have chipsets on them that will be outrun by for
example a GF3 Ti 500 .... ok, the FX cards will use features that are not on
a GF3 but performance wise cards like the FX 5200 are not that good.
They did that marketing trick with succes when the GF4's came out and I
think they will continue to use this trick.

In agreement with what everyone also said, here is an example...

My GF2 GTS would score around 4700 on 3D Mark2001SE, my GF4 Ti scores over
12000.

My buddy's FX5200 scores 4900.

The FX5200 came to life so nVidia could claim "top-to-bottom
DX9-compatibility" and sell more cards to OEMs. In terms of raw speed it is
slower than the Ti500. The FX5200 is absolutely useless because it is too
slow to run future DX9 games anyway.

U, I and anyone else who brought a FX5200 have been decived.

We thought brand new model, must be better then the old model version. Just
goes to show when u assume, u make an ass out of u and me.

in terms of real speed, a MX440 would match it

What did you expect? When the GF3 ti500 came out it cost $300. The FX5200
costs $70.

I would have expected someone knowledgeable enough to purchase a GeForce3
ti500 would also be clued-up on Nvidia's FX product line and how the 5200s
are crap. Hmmm...
