hi people:)

got a question for you

its about this graphic card: XFX GeForce FX 5200 128MB DDR PCI TVO (Retail)


My pc is a compaq pressario 2.4mhz with 384 ddr sdram
i had a problem while playig ut2003 because It takes pci cards. My current card is a all in wonders VE 64M. I would like to know more abt this card, should i buy it? will it be good enough to play unreal tournament 2004? I guess yes but, just want to be sure that I wont spend money if my pc will still lag on internet games.
heres a link for the geforce

Do a search using the google site, and you can find some reviews of that card.

And check this url out, it's a pretty good read:

Thx a lot friend! :)

Well, i know there will be always some lag but, my card is only a 64M so, with 128, it will help a bit:)

thx for replying:)

also, this new card is DX 9 compliant.
I found that when I went from my G-3 ti 200 64 meg to a G force 5600 256 meg, what I thought was internet lag was actually my PC not dealing with the map as well as it should. I'm sure that going from a tnt 64 to that card will give you a nice spike in performance for your $$

Digit Life (http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/over2003/) has a pretty comprehensive head-to-head comparison of a whole raft of cards, although these are all AGP. It's not to be taken as more than a general look at these cards. I'd expect it's PCI version to be a little less, but still I'd expect better results than your other card, and $75 ain't bad.

A little boost in the RAM wouldn't hurt either noldhor :thumbs: I'm still playin with my geforce ti4400. I too had 384 ram and my UT2k3 games would sometimes play tricks on me. I bumped it up to 900+ and have had no more problems (except I'm still an easy target):rofl:
