Even GeForce 3 is better than GeForce FX 5200. GeForce 4 Ti completely destroys it.

GeForce4 Ti 4200 is worth $75 and a great deal if it's in top notch condition.
I wouldn't pay half that for the FX 5200 though.

They dont check these things before they sell them so expect to have to pay shipping to send it back to them, and restocking if you want your money back.

c627627--Yep.....that's why I got (2) ti4200's.

Xafgoat--That's why they'll be burned in for 15 days, in at least 4 different motherboards. Ya pays yo' money and takes yo' chances.

Imo, $75 is a rip off for a used fx5200. Hell it's not even an ultra. That ti4200 is a pretty good price though. If you need a cheap card it's the one to get.

I have never bought a video card refurb from Newegg, do they all ship barebone or do you get accessories sometimes? I have had good luck with thier refurb motherboards.

You never know what you will get. Sometimes you get all the accessories and discs and sometimes you'll get just the card.
BTW: I got an fx5200, used it for about 2 weeks and then bought a ti4200.

fx5200 = 831 or so
ti4200 = 1522
That should sum it up.

Yeah my new dell came with a 5200, used it for a couple hours and then swapped in my old Geforce2 Ultra and noticed all around improvements, sold the 5200 ASAP.

I've had great luck with Newegg refurb video cards:

Leadtek Geforce2 MX400 worked great and has been retired.

Geforce3 Ti200 128mb that overclocks to Ti500 speeds currently on an Abit BH6 mb on kid #2's machine.

XFX Geforce4 Ti200 that overclocks to Ti4600 speeds currently on kid #1's machine.

on the flip side I've had bad luck with newegg refurbs....got an ASUS Ti4200 128M....worked great for a day or so until I got some nice vertical lines on the display...I ordered another Ti4200 Leadtek I think...and it was bad. Then tried out a FX5600 Ultra....ended up going bad after a few days.......just have to rely on my GF3 Ti200 for a little bit longer until prices go down on the ATI cards.

Got an Albatron Ti4200 refurb from newegg and worked about a 2 weeks and then started to show artifacts. It's hit or miss with those video refurbs.
