Interage Geforce FX 5200 128MB DDR 8X AGP

Looking for any kind of information on the Interage Geforce Fx 5200 128MB DDR 8X AGP that Sam's Club is selling for $84.00.
Is it a good graphics card and can it be overclocked.
I can't find any information on Interage.

The 5200's, Ultra or not, are outperformed by a Ti 4200 64/128mb. BUT - Their DX9 compatible. Whee.

So, that card is a little cheaper than a Ti 4200 which can be easily overclocked, so you make the choice. As for overclocking it, ask someone else that has one. I like my BFG Ti 4200 128mb, and have it OC'd to Ti 4600-level core and Ti 4400-level memory, and rock stable.

well all the cards are DX9 Compatible. But the big question is can the card utilize the new features that DX9 has to offer. the TI's can't but the FX's can. I currently own a 5200 non ultra 128 bit. I'm happy with it. Its default core is 250/3??. i am able to overclock it to 300/400. If i can find a way to turn the voltage up on it i'll push it higher!

But to be honest i suggest you go for a 5600 ultra or TI series and above. even though the 5200 can actually use the DX9 features the TI's blow it out of the water. when you get up to 5600 thats when things start to even out between the FX's and the TI's but the 5600 can use the DX9 features also which is a plus.

P.S. the only reason I bought a 5200 because i was upgrading from a Geforce 2 MX 32 meg in 3 months i'll spend a 100 bucks and get a 5600 ultra or a 5900 depending on how much the price drops.
