GeForce video card
I'm considering a GeForce 5200 ultra video card. Has anyone had any dealings with this card, good,bad or indifferent? Thanks and Happy Ho-Ho

It's bad, so bad it makes s3 virge dx look good.

The 5200 is not for gaming, it's extremely slow.

I would have thought it would be much better tham the Radeon 7200 32mb that came in the machine currently

Well no doubt about it being better than 7200. But it loses to cards like ti4200.

+the fx cards need huge cooling, usually taking the pci slot right below the agp slot for themselves, and the cooling solution makes noise.

I'd get 9500 or 9600 radeon instead

//edit2: Heh, ok, that might've been a little exaggerating But still I wouldn't buy fx5200.

I've read reviews on the fx5200 and they weren't very good.
