I currently own a Geforce 3 Ti 200 I'm thinking of upgrading to a Geforce FX 5200 and was wounding if this is a bad idea. I've heard that my Geforce 3 is faster than the Geforce FX.

I suggest you read, http://www6.tomshardware.com/graphic...311/index.html

and more usefully this:

Sounds as if the geforce 3 Ti 200 is faster than the FX 5200 depending on how you look at it. However, it does get a lot better 3d mark 03 score even beating the geforce 4 Ti 420.

However,


For $79 that's a good deal and I'm sure its cheaper if you search.

Thanks , I checked Tom's hardwear but thought I would ask to see what other thoughts and for some more soruces to check than just one.

Thanks

I may have the Ultra I'm not sure I payed 99 dollars for mine.

But I posted 2 :-?

Rob

Oh sorry I didn't mean it that way. Sorry I had checked tom's hardware long before I post here. and he didn't offer much info at this time. That’s when I posted here to see if you guys would know of more sites or maybe personal know more. Sorry for the confusion. I did check the other site that you posted and it was of great help. Thanks I plan on installing the new card tomorrow and testing it out a little myself. Thanks for the help.
Sorry for the confusion.

But i cant tell what os this 2 is the better choice, the FX5200 or the Ti 4200.

Thanks for all your help guys and welcome Socrates Demise sorry I haven't been around so I haven't welcomed you yet. But I did get the 5200 FX and as it turned out the 5200 that I got was bad. SO I send it back and I got a Geforce 5600 FX 256 MB DDR. This is the best card I have ever owned. But I just wanted to thank you guys for the help.
