FX 5200 is absolute rubbish!

SLK · Post by **SLK** » Mon Apr 28, 2003 5:33 pm

I bought the Asus FX5200 128mb w/tv out thinking itll be decent card to hold me out until NV35.. the benchmarks weren't too bad either. Well I was wrong. Scored 4512 on 3dmark 2001se. Bah!! Its not 9.5k like on the reviews! My 2d apps fonts were not aligned. This is a serous piece of junk card! Don't listen to what anyone else says.

all you had to do was ask me man, heh

did you get the ultra or non ultra?

Non Ultra... LOL.

I pretty much knew what was to be expected. But it performs on par w/ my onboard Gf4. Which is pathetic..

Nvidia really has to get their heads together. The text isn't even aligned with the windows. Especially in AIM.

I pondered one of these puppies only because they were cheap. I would probably be better off spending the same on a Radeon 8500 and have a DVI interface.

shant,

Just got a gray screen...nothing else. Happened after I came out of full screen on WMP9. This card is trash.

no doubt the 8500 is still a decent card for the $$$

Hmm...nice price there. XFX??? Haven't heard of them. i'd be real curious to know about it though. My Ge3 needs upgrading badly.

XFX is a division of Pine

I was thinking about that card for a friends rig. Thanks for the post.

Im waiting for the nv35 too. I was gonna get an ATI but nawwww I like Nvidia too much.

SLK · Post by **SLK** » Thu May 01, 2003 2:34 pm

Ditto shaggy..I don't feel like ripping my Nvidia case badge off my case and have to look at the sticky mess it leaves behind just for an (ugh) ATi card.
