Hi There,
Could anyone advise me please.
At the present moment my system is using a Creative GeForce 3 NVidia Ti200 64mb. DDR Graphics Card.
I am considering replacing the above with a Sparkle NVidia FX 5200 128DDR. Graphics Card.
Would you consider this to be more benificial to me, I know there are far better V/Cards out there but cost is the main stumbling block, so its a case of stick with Creative as above or upgrade with Sparkle.
Thanking You.
Regards.
HarryOatcake.

I'd save your money and wait for something better. The 5200 isn't a big step performance.....although it does support dx9, it will not perform that well in dx9 applications.

i'd only upgrade the geforce 3 ti200 if you get at least twice the performance in most situations with the new graphics card

the ti200 would probably spank the 5200 lol
get a radeon 9600 pro or a 9500pro if u dont plan to overclock the 9600

I'm going to echo the current sentiment. IF you can't afford to get something better than the 5200, then just stick with your GF3 for a while longer, and try to save up to get a 5600 ultra or 9600 pro.
