THE FUTURE OF 5200 fx

M

Hi guys my friend is going to buy the geforce 5200fx agp 8x card for 2100rs.Can itplay gta sa,doom3,quake4?
PLz reply,
Thanks,

It can play GTA-SA but DOOM3 and Quake4 requires the best card with good FPS so i doubt it.

i hv tat card......u can play Doom 3 & quake 4 at low @ 640 x 480 with decent fps
but tell ur friend 2 get a 6200/6600 agp as 5200 is pretty old.....

The card is beyond obsolete

get at least a 6600 non GT

I disagree on that I have the card for about 2 yrs and still its able to play the latest games albeit at low setting but it still gets the job done, my opinion is milk the cow till its dead and after that milk it a little more, so I have been overclocking it and its giving decent performance.

Milk a cow till its dead , but don't buy a dead cow . Buying 5200 at this point will be foolish ,5200 is for 1800/- in my city (approx) , still buying it is similar to throwing your money in a trash bin. Its better to buy a 6200 agp for a bit more price. nothing less than 6200 AGP (Not a pci-e turbocrap)

whats in medium range then? is 6600GT is still a good buy .. or its out of that too.(i mean not worth a money now)

6600gt is worth money.

6600gt is a good 1, my friend is using it, just too good.

Ok ..the Prices Are As Follows :
Xfx 6600 Non-gt -rs 3.7 K
Xfx 6600gt - Arnd 7k...
6200 - Not Sure But Surely Less Than 3k....

these are pci-e prices not AGP ones , AGP is bit costly.

guys, i'm confused abt 1 thing..............is a plain 6200 better than a 6200 with turbocache??

I believe plain 6200 is better than TC one, coz latter uses ur RAM( I mean system RAM ) to load graphical textures, Its like this 6200TC 256MB will hav only 128MB memory & it takes rest of the memory from main RAM itself. So better choose non TC one!!

lol ive got this card and thanks to this card ive stopped gaming for over a year now

edit:Moved here

ya.....TC is of no use....and its available only in the PCIe plarform....so no TC in AGP......and no one with atleast 2GB ram would like to share ram!

Ive doubt bout TC.
TC uses mem from the system nd so theoritically slower right?. But in a system with dual channel mem the effective system mem is bout 800Mhz which is much higher than normal 6200. Then how come a normal 6200 better performer than the TC ones?
