Right off the assembly line
well I think u can also play games like half-life 2 , doom 3, halo2, far cry & others,but under medium graphics.
when did that come out for the PC ??? Geez dude pls dont provide wrong information. Doom3 and HL2 and others will work under very low settings if your lucky.venkat1605

Hey ICECOOLZ there's no very low settings in Doom 3 & Half-Life 2.I have seen Half Life 2 play comfortably on my friend's PC , he has a FX 5200 & Doom 3 medium settings will be cozier on it alright.First know then bluff.

The mentioned games are latest alright ... but the hardware isn't ... and it'll be very hard to run these on the above mentioned hardware ....

That depend on how u define "great" ... i hope ur talking about CoD 2 and CoD : United offensive .... coz the released demo is highly unoptimised ... it chokes even high end rigs at high settings .....
Yup ... it'll run pretty fine ....... and since the engine has been optimised more ... it should run even better than the original title .....
Serious Sam II ???? or Serious Sam ????
Boiling Point : Road to Hell will not run on an FX5200 unless u consider 15 fps good enough ....

So play confortably with AA and everything turned on ? On which resoultion ? Come on man. FX5200 is a DX8 based card. Ur defenitely not gonna get water reflections in HL2 unless you know what to mod to get the water reflections. Oh and I know what I am talking abt. Perhaps u should do some research b4 talkin...Do u even know what AA is ? sheesh... script kiddies... :roll:
The world over acknowledges that the 5200 sucks and you say this...lol... I really dont know what to say....
oops! My bad. I got mixed up with MX and the FX series 
Actually what I meant to say was that since HL2 is tied up with ATi it runs most nvidia cards (esp the 5series) with the DX set to 8.1 Unless you know which hacks to do you wont get DX9 on HL2 with a 5 series card.
And what do you mean by AA and AAF being a hoax ???? Care to tell us what your source of infromation is ??? I couldnt understand what you mean by "pretending" to. Anyways more info would be helpful

CoD 2 or CoD United Offensive ??? ur config plz. ....
And that's a shame .... the early FX series were extremely poor at handling dx9.0b shaders i.e. sm2.0 ... HL2 runs at dx8.1 mode ... but trust me ... dx8.1 mode on the 6 series look a lot different from what i saw on the FX .....

Penitum 4 2.66GHz "Northwood", 640MB Ram, XFX GeForce FX5200. i was talking about CoD2, Serious Sam II was giving really poor frame rates, even on 640x480, despite Serious Engine being spectacular, it's highly unoptimized. actually, there isa Command, which let's you run HL2 in DX9 Mode, you have to modified the shortcut, i didn't tried it, since the game already plays smooth on FX5200.
@icecoolz: The GeForce FX cards default to the DirectX 8.1 rendering path, which runs faster but with fewer visual details. Specifically, there is bump mapping on fewer objects, detail objects are not drawn out to as far a distance, shadows aren't as soft, and water isn't as realistic, this the nasty trick Source Engine performs, so unless some one owns, a High End Graphics card, like X800XT or GeForce 6800x Half Life 2 will run in DX8, unless it'sa ATI Radeon Cardoffcourse, i remember seeing Half Life 2 OEM Ads with 9600XT! it's unfair, but what can gamers, do on the other hand, you could just try running them in DX9 and expirence a incredible performance hit or a better solution, just buy a new High end graphics card!

Cool down gentlemen....
first and foremost...The OS makes a huge difference...I don't see anyone talking about what OSes are being used.... Rule of Thumb... ME/98 gives almost 30-50% increased frame rates over XP on any given config... also fx series cards are DX9 but have very poor DX9 implementation so HL2 is set to default to dx8.1 mode on those cards. for example...a 6200 gives almost 75-90% of the FPS of a 5900XT in DX9 PS tests but in DX8.1 is less than 1/4th as fast.

The released demo is quite unoptimised ... nice to know it runs on your rig .... also if the rumours are correct then the final game should have a software+hardware mode for older hardware .....
mat_dxlevel 90c (type in the console)
Then why does most of the newer games requires atleast XP/2000 to run ????? even when according to you u get so much better performance on older os'es like 98SE/ME ???? wake up dude .... only because XP chokes a pc with 128MB ram when u run a game doesn't mean 98SE is faster ..... wake up dude .....
Finally a talk of some intelligence ....

Hey Icecoolz,I used to own a FX 5200 myself 11 months ago,now i have a X850XT PE(256 MB) because my brother works in ATI.I can assure HL2 runs smooth on FX5200,since there r no changes in the engine of BIA:EnB it will go okay in 800x600.Boiling Point I agree 15 FPS,but it surely does play.And one more thing i know what AA & AF means.My brother works for ATI technologies,i get a lot info from him something which even u dont know.I am sorry for being too harsh on u.Good Day.
