Call Of Duty Video card help!!!

[d_paluch]

Ok, like in my last thread, i was tallkin about the FX5200. I need help again, if I were to buy that 5200(low budget) and play call of duty, could I have the settings on max detail and be able to get 30+ fps?!?!please help me because this is one of the games I really want to be able to play. thanks

Specs

Mobo:Asus X533
Mem.:256mb
Hdd:40gig maxtor
CPU:Intel Pentium 2.4Celeron
Video Card:TNT2M64 32mb

if i have the 5200 can i run CoD Full detail settings at 30+ frames?!?!?!?!?thanks!

you'd have to get a 4x agp card because that mobo only goes up to 4x agp. that will hinder your performance. i saw like 2 or three different versions of the fx5200, one is 8x 64mb, another is 128mb 8x and the last was 256mb 8x so i assume you aren't looking to get the 256mb one so that leaves the 128mb (which i would recommend) and the 64mb one. but then again, they are 8x agp. you'd be wasting your money paying for an 8x card when you can only use it at 4x.

just my opinion,

it doesn't matter if they are 8x or 4x. they are backwards compatable to 4X and besides.......all of the new cards these days are 8x so ur not paying more $$$ for an 8x. as far as i know.....there aren't any 4x fx5200s.

also....im playing call of duty with my asus fx5200 and it works great at 1024x768 with medium settings for character and enviromental details. also......i just got NFS underground too and it also works great at 1024x768. i donno why people bash these cards around, they are really good cards for their price IMO.

o...k

hey nurdonsite2 i hear what you are saying. people hate these cards for no reason, they werent meant to be top of the line, hense why they are called "BUDGET" video cards, what is your FPS in CoD with med detail, and is it any good at high?!?!?!? thanks guys, keeep responding!!!!

yo nurdonsite2 , you live in Missisauga Ontario, I live in Oakville Ontario, thats crazy, finally some canadian content on these sites, lol, just wondering, where did u get ur Asus 5200, all ive seen are the PNY and XFX, and XFX are slower clocked, thanks and please respond again!!!!!!

Will i be able to play CoD with full settings on a 5200 and get 30+ fps, please keep responding!!!!!!!

IMO, I don't think you could run CoD on max details maintaing 30+ FPS on a 5200 Ultra on your system. Because you're limited on a 2.4 GHz Celeron as well as 256 megs of ram and to top it off, chances are you won't be able to maintain that 30 FPS. There could be a possibility of it if you have it on 640x480 resolution. Usually, people correlate Max Details as maxing their video card with AA and AF, like what I do in CoD, I can't play CoD very long before I get motion sickness, but it's a great game

[pinipig523]

you will not be able to run it at max detail at playable framerates... i.e. 25+ fps.

Also you may want to look into an ati 9500

It will burn that nvidia 5200 to no end
