Should i buy geforce fx5200

[anujpant]

Hi friends.

i am a casual gamer and need a card that will allow me to play games like nfsu2 and halo etc. and low resolutions.

My config is sempron 2400+,asus a7v400, 256 mb 333 ram.

budget is 3000 rs.
Should i buy fx 5200 cards.
and which brand ( asus, xfx, gigabyte, gainward or msi)

Thanka

You can go for a AGP version of 6200

You can play NFS2, Doom 3 etc with acceptable frame rates at low settings with an FX5200. It's low-end by current gaming standards, but your budget won't let you buy anything better and it's OK for casual gaming.

if ur budget is 3k then dont even think of 5200. fx 5700 128bit 128 mb costs 3100 nd 6200 costs 3200.
So get between this two

FX5200 wil soon rip .... get a 6200 ... even the 64bit mem. ver of the 6200 will be a lot better than the FX5200 ...

Yup 'Sidewinder' is right.... go atleast for fx5700 it is suitable for for u r req.

Well i hv been using the nVIDIA Ge Force FX 5200 (256 MB DDR RAM) graphics card since a year now and till now i hv been able to play all games like NFS-U2,DOOM3 and many more..

Well all u guys here will be right abt the fact that the FX 5200 is not a powerful card but Mr. Anujpant, if ur budget is really tight and since u mentiond that ur a casual gamer,u can go for the FX 5200 version of AGP card..well yes other ppl will hv different views but since ur post is abt the FX 5200 and also that i hv been using it since 1-year..(without any glitches/problems) and the problem of compatibility for many games is also not present..as this card is compatible for many games.....u can go for this card as well

Neways the final decision is always urs man !!!

cheers n e-peace....

NO....spend some more money and go for a 6200 AGP, stay away from Gf 5 series cards
