FX 5200 or TI4200?

[HoosierDadE]

Hi,

Looking at a Dell system that has an FX 5200 upgrade for $50.

The PC I am replacing has a TI4200 in it that I could move to the new PC.

I know zilch about the FXs. Is the FX 5200 a better card than the TI4200?

TIA.

use the 4200

ti4200 blows the fx5200 away.

4200, any fx besides 5900u is a waste of money. i had a 4200 titanium Chaintech and a PNY 5600nu, my 4200 was much better compared to my 5600.

Thanks!

The Ti4200 is much faster than the regular FX 5200.

The 4200 is a much better card than the 5200. As azntiger0586 said, the only FX worth the money is the 5900u, which is over 400 bucks, so its kinda not worth it

I need to buy a GF4-ti4200 128 mb...

I'd like to get the best deal possible pricewise, but stick with a decent quality brand. There are a lot of "no-name" cards out there. Steer me right! I don't necessarily need to O/C the heck out of it either... just a good stable card.

Thanks.

With lower end cards like this the goal should be not to use AA or AF but just to get the best framerates possible. I agree that the 5200 series is a waste since you can get 4200 or even 4400 series cards that perform much better.

the 5200 has capabillity of a cross stitcher

i could go to the primary school at the top of the road and the kids would be able to colour in the frames with more speed and detail than a 5200

Dx9 is a redeeming feature sometimes, but in this case its no where near redeeming.

I've seen benchmarks of the Geforce2 MX o/ced beating the hell out of the GFFX 5200 in modern games. That's right, NV11 blowing away NV34. Stay away from the GFFX 5200 as far as you can.

Ti4200 without a doubt
