    Sparkle Geforce FX5200 128MB

    Anyone know if these cards are any good, will be run at stock speeds no OC, or is a Radeon 9600 better bang per buck, 9600 is more expensive as it is a 256mb
    150 vs 92 euro.

    Get a 9600 Pro 128MB in comparison to a 9600 256MB as the Pro is faster.

    I don't know about Nvidia cards but i know the 9600 Pro is a good card.

    I'd say the 9600 is much better value than an FX5200.

    I agree with KeZZer, you'd be better off getting a Radeon 9600 128MB.

    ye a 9600pro is much better, the FX5200 is not worth the money really when you can get a card thats incredibly faster for a small amount more.

    the geforce 5200 performs slightly worse than a geforce 3 ti at directx9 apps, and about a third of the speed in older directx8 apps
