FX 5600 ultra compared to a GF3ti200

[gogeeta13]

I can pick up a 5600U for pretty cheap(used from a friend). I currently have a gf3 ti200. How much of a speed increase are we talking about. Is it worth it? Any benchmarks between a gf3 and the fx5600?

Is it a revision 1 or 2?

FX5600 ultra will be noticeably faster than a GF3TI200.

FX5600 ultra (flip chip version @ any rate) is about the same speed of a Geforce 4 Ti4200 with AA/AF disabled, and signifcantly faster with AA/AF enabled.

Geforce Ti4200 in turn is approx 30-35% faster in most benchmark test than a GF3 Ti200. (Example 3DMark2001SE)

Link to older system video card comparision.

Its worth the upgrade if you can get the card cheap.

Actually, the FX5600U rev. 1 is marginally slower than the Ti4200. The FX5600 is still an improvement over the GF3Ti200, however, you will likely get a better deal with a Ti4200 (higher frame rate, lower cost). The scene changes when you enable AA/AF however, as the Ti4200 is much slower at processing AA/AF than the FX5600U. Without AA/AF to slow the GF4 Ti4200 down, the FX5600U is hardly able to keep pace.

If you got a really good deal for it, you'll be happy with the FX5600U as an upgrade from the GF3Ti200.

Let me know how it works out, I have a GF3Ti200 that I'm looking to upgrade, and have been eyeing either looking for a Ti4200 on the FS/FT forums, or picking up an FX5700 (which performs noticeably faster than the FX5600 rev. 1).

How much money are you paying for this 5600? And why is he selling it so soon?

$75 is a very good deal for any 5600U.
