WTF!! just upgraded from an old mmx 400 w/32 meg to a 5200 w/128 ddr. I see absolutely no improvement . I had no prob w/the mmx but I expected to see awesome things with this 5200 (what a letdown)

yep, 5200 has worse performance in some instances to a gf4 mx

also worse iq

they're losing a lot of fans by pulling this.

I understand its all marketing hype, but it might be a short lived victory.

Well, I always trusted NVIDIA to be the best now im leaning towards Radeon.

not sure what you expected out of a $90.00 video card. the 5200 is there budget model.

:nod:
I bought one for a cheap card with DVI. It does that quite well. When then 9900 comes out, I will spend a bit more coin.

your right, it is a cheap card but with 128 ddr it should be able to outdo a 32 mb mx 400! and in my opinion it does not. So, the bottom line is what did I get for an extra 75 bucks? A very sore feeling and they didnt even use grease!
