MX-440 or FX-5200?

[yclyde]

I was looking for a low end graphics card for a budget build w/the ability to still game some.

ati is not an option at the moment.

Appreciate anyone's experience.

Thanks

i use mx 440 se. its great..

Thats kinda the way I was leaning. Haven't heard or read many +'s on the 5200's. The only pos I can possibly think of would be support for dx9.
From my end the price is a wash on the 2 cards.

Thanks

they said that the fx is buggy or what ever.. but trust the mx440.. even its an early version its most relying.. i told about 10 of my friends to get and all have good reports on it...

the MX's have a lower core speed and the FX's are a better chipset with a high core speed. the FX's are the better card right now.

The sum it up: THE MX's are the BUDGET cards. The FX's are the HIGHER END cards.

[soulja]

yes its budget but good for its kind... and doesn't really freeze on any game..

MX440 here too. Most FPS per $ vs all cards up to the 9800XT/5950U according to TGH VGA Charts III.
