From what I've read your present card would probably perform better. The
only advantage of the 5600XT would be DirectX9 support, but there's not
much around to support yet.... It wouldn't really constitute an
"upgrade".

Thanks for your reply MinMin, the only problem is the Ti4200 has an issue
when used with the latest drivers and Soldier Of Fortune 2 so I thought just
buying a new Graphics card would then let me use the new drivers..

Keep your card, the 5600XT is an ULTRA SLOW edition of the FX5600 and
that one is already slower then your current card!

I read that the best drivers for our cards (Ti4x00 versions) seems the 43.xx
and 45.xx. I have had but problems with the latest 5x.xx versions on a card
like your. These drivers are optimized for the latest 5200+ cards. I have
SOF 1 and 2 and most other first person shooters and I get lower framerate
and colour distortions with the 5x.xx drivers.

Keep your 4200 until you have more money, and a good reason to upgrade. At
this time, mine runs all games splendidly. Perhaps (and perhaps only), will
I upgrade when doom 3 or HL2 comes up.

In what way is the fx5600XT slower than the fx5600?

Cheers Guys, I`ve taken your advice and keeping my TI4200..

Also as a footnote I found a "Reghack" and now overclocked it to 300mhz Core
and 550Mhz Memory Clock, i`ve read that the "Gold Sample" are suppose to be
quite good at coverclocking so i`m now going to play ;0)

Thanks Again

Keep your Ti4200...

Yup some claim the golden samples can hit 325/650 ... ofcourse your
milage may vary!

Hell only once the games you wish to play REALLY get chucky on your
card, then you replace it!
