OK, since statecop asked i thought i would share the wealth:

 

This GeFx is only 55 bucks, and it is fully DX9 compat, has 128mbs of RAM and a crapload of other stuff. Buy it, NOW!

yupI got the 5200, it was 139.99 at futureshop, but I had a card that took off 75 buck-a-roos...so I got it for a price within the 80s...it's an amazing card with low price, if you got an old 64mb, I would recommand uping to this one

you got ripped

Unwanted. Is that $140 you paid for American or Canadian?I went to Future Shop and the FX5200 is $130 Canadian.If you paid that in American. Then god help you.

it was Canadian, I live in Canada...duh....

i got one for my third fourth and fifth monitor for 75$ it doesnt perform that well id look for a 9500 pro and mod it to a 9700 8x agp

whoops, missed the Canada part, my bad. Guess you did get a good deal. I dunno, my 5200 really gave my comp a big boost, i use to have to turn BF42 down really low to get passable framrates now i can have it at max detail without so much as a hickup, even online with 50 ppl and a merely ok PC. Of course, not even a Gefx could compensate for the crappy, inefficient graphical code in Star Wars Galaxies...

A GF FX 5200 is like a slowish TI4200 and DX9 features.It is a good card for the money.

Yes Mac, my ti 4200 cost 100,00 € = $88.50.Egidio.

4200 is a good cardnice oc capabilty and 8x agp for a low price

i love my 5200, now i just have to update my aging 2000+ and add another 512 megs of RAM. Estimated cost: 100$ total, for both additions, god i love AMD and cheap RAM

Spend the money on a faster CPU.You will not see much difference in more ram unless you get DDR 4000 and overclock the FSB to the max.

now this is a jaw droper ,,an ATI Raedon 9800 vid card with 256 DDR,and it goes for 500+ tax :shock: :shock: :shock:

Is it just me or should this thread be in the Gaming Tips Tools and Overclocking?
