Be aware of stupid cards like my 3dClub 9000PRO shit stuf...128MB. Memory is@250MHz (DDR) by default in bios but gives corupted polygons and skins.Only works if memory clock is set to 230MHz (DDR). Not to mention that the catalyst reports it as POWERCOLOUR!!! This card sucks...ati sucks.....i want back my old ASUS GeForce256.

To post 68:

DON'T BUY A FX5200!!! I bought one of these crap and it performs worst than my old GF2!! I quickly sold it and get a Radeon 9100 and it's like TWICE the performance!!

FX5200 is the ultimate crap!!!!

Nvidia and ATI are clearly in league together in a ridiculous scam to take money from poor stupid gamers who have nothing better to worry about than "will upgrading from a 5600 to a 9600 be like 7 polygons/s faster??" What kind of idiot pays $150 for a circuit board anyway?

Fuck you!
i got a geforce 4 ti 4200(980s) from asus
and it is faster than a geforce 4 ti 4600(in 3d mark 2001),but in a banchmark(an old one) freshdiagnose a tnt2 draw more texts:
mine:728,592
tnt2:858,401

If you're looking to overclock the FX 5200, but are worried about the passive cooling, then you might want to look at buying an FX 5200 put out by PNY. They mount a small cooling fan on the heatsink for you, and also give you two VGA outs, so you can support dual monitors w/o having to buy any adaptors, plus they give you an S-video out as well. BFG and Asylum don't do that for you. It was a really good buy for only $100.00.

FUCK YOU ALL
my geforce 4 will kick your ass :P

u fucks av probably ony got tnt2 fuckheads

you all should get a Geforce 4 ti 4400.. its a beast.. i have it overcloocked and running stable over the GeForce 4ti 4600... its nice...

Here's One Better,..Let's See Nvidia And Radeon Do This.

Wildcat VP990 Pro
512MB 256bit DDR
450M Tri/Sec
225M Ver/Sec
42G AA Samples/Sec
200 Giga/Flops Processor
1.2 Tera/Ops VPU

All For The Price Of Both Top End Cards From Nivida And Radeon. But 4-5 Times The Performance.

Screw Invida And Radeon,..What Y'all Want Is A Wildcat IV From 3d Labs,...If You Work For DELL You Can Snake One For Free.

Well, a TNT2 Pro is not supported by BF:1942, I've tried! :)

I have a Radeon 9000 PCI and want to know if the geforce fx 5200 card is any better? Can anyone tell me some facts between the two cards? If the 5200 is better, I may scrap the 9000.

Thanks

geforce 3 is crap

lullululllul

YAY!! Finally, a cheap worthy replacement for my geforce4mx. but passive cooling? is this so gamers like me can't overclock our cards to squeeze out that little bit more performance? shame on you nvidia, to shame.....although vertex and pixel shaders would be nice........

Uh, yeah. Considering NO games actually use DX9 right now, and full use of it as industry standard, like DX8.1 will take more than a few months to come into play, by the time DX9 IS mainstream, today's 400 dollar DX9 cards will be tomorrow's 179.99 cards anyway.

"When you first start up Unreal Tournament 2003, it puts up a big splash screen with an Nvidia logo that reads, "The Way It's Meant to Be Played". However, going by these test results, it looks more like UT is meant to be played on the Radeon 9500 Pro. "
YUP. 5200 and the 5600. If you know nothing about hardware. Then those cards are for you. Crap like the MX chips.

Ok, It's Monday now...where are the reviews? The line that srtuck the most from the article is this: "All of the NV3X series will have a [b]128 bit[/bus." If this is true the epic finger pointing over at nvnews will be of epic proportions.

#46 Anon Gerbil.

GF4 MX (note the 4) - Carmack hated it because it plays on the GF4 name, whereas it has NOTHING to do with a GF4.

The "5200" plays on the 4200, Nvidia are evil in this sence - it's all part of the maknig $$$$$$$$$$ scheme they have (as do most business's)

Too late Nvidia! I just picked up an ATI card a few days ago and I'm really happy with it, which is more than I can say for your hyped late-to-market products and stale moldy drivers on your website.

I just want to buy a Video Card that costs $2. And run DOOM3 at 80 FPS with Fsaa+Ansioscopic filtering sampled to the max at resolutions of 1600x1200. I don't think that is too much to ask for.

If the 5200 is gonna be faster than my GF2 MX (it better!!!) then I'd be interested in buying it.

And by faster... it better be at least double the speed. 3 chip generations later better make it double the speed. Damn... hope my 1GHz system is okay

posted at THG that some nvidia guy said Direct X 9 cards for $79 bucks.. would be great if the 5200 was $79 bucks... and the 5600 double that.. ~$160.00 that would be sweet.. specially if there is a Price war between the two.. should benifit everyone.. could care less if i have a ATI or Nvidia card, long as it works properly, and gives me the best bang for the buck.. I can't afford $200+ bucks for a graphics card.

[q]In the standard tests without FSAA and anitotropic filtering, the FX 5600 Ultra seems to be just about the same or slower than a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 8x and Radeon 9500 PRO. This might be due to the reduced pixel pipelines (2x2, as opposed to 4x2). With 4xFSAA, it appears to reach nearly double the performance of the 4200, beating a 4800 as well, but it loses out to the Radeon 9500 PRO. It's a similar picture with the anisotropic filtering. In the pixel shader tests from 3DMark 2001, it beats the 4200/2800, but loses in the vertex shader tests. In both tests, it clearly loses to the Radeon 9500 PRO. [/q]

Considering Trident has been floating around selling their chips even NOW, while they have very little existence in the retail market proves that the fast pimp isn't feeding the family, indeed.

AG#49 - With AA and aniso mind you, and not with well writen or even a single FINAL driver set for it.

MX isn't dead, not remotedly, it'll be mass produced for at least 2 years.

The naming scheme does make it easier to keep track of which nvidia card is going up against its corresponding ati card. 5200 vs. 9200 , 5600 vs. 9600 , 5800 vs. 9800 .

If we look at where these companies make there profit,,its obviousely not in the high end,,,so lets not say nvidias dead,,, they still make boat loads of money, The enthusiast may choose a 300 dollar rocket right now but the middle class choose whats priced for performance. We have no actual benchmarks right now and do not know the exact price points. You can find the same card priced at one place for 200 dollars ,,down the road its 175,, go figure ,,,dont complain,,, this only makes it better for us when there is competition and more options. And i think the whole naming sceme makes things more intresting,,, pick a box and you never know what your gonna get

I agree with 43. The 5200 just doesn't look powerful enough to run DX9 games (although for some reason I still feel that it's going to be fast). The 5200 Ultra has gotta be at least as fast as a GF4 Ti4200 to make me interested!
And according to Tom's Hardware Guide, the 5600 just can't go up with the Radeon 9500 Pro, which is faster than the Ti4200.
