ethan Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=14-139-143&depa=1nVIDIA GeForce FX5200 Video Card, 128MB DDR, 128-bit, TV-Out, PCI,$71I need to have a PCI card for my computer since I screwed up and got a motherboard without AGP support. This mobo doesn't support PCI-E either, I wish it did, but it doesn't. So my only route I can go is PCI. I thought about a 9200se radeon 128mb, but...I realized it didn't support DX9 and had some technical issues with a couple games I play after reading reviews. In addition to this I have had problems with ATI in the past...and I have had no troubles with 3dfx/nvidia...so I figured nvidia would be the way to go. Just wanted to know if the tech gurus around here thought it was a good deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veK Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 depends on what you like to play with this card... maybe you should better save some money for a new mainboard and then buy a ne video card... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megashrap Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I currently have the exact card and I havent come across any problems yet.However I do have an ASUS mobo and Nvidia chipset with agp also. I think I payed around 50$ for mine at newegg when it was on special a few months back. But for games in general, it does the job just fine.

ethan Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 I have Call of Duty now and loved playing it through the first time (on my Intel Integrated BS card) but I would like to make it look better. Also I'm gonna buy Far Cry I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
