fx 5600

[estew33]

Hi All,
I'm looking at a fx 5600 . I'm wondering if these cards are worth buying. What would be a fair price to pay for one
Thanks

50-60 bucks would be reasonable, any higher than that, just get a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 or 4600, the 5600 wasn't a very good performer compared to the geForce 4 Ti models which it was supposed to replace.

What are you going to use the card for estew33? If you are not gaming the 5600 will be fine. If you plan any kind of serious modern gaming then the 5600 is NOT what you are looking for at this time.

5600 isnt a great gaming card but if you arent gaming, its fine

like sneaky said, $50-60 is reasonable

Unless you get one for an extreme bargain (say $50) it's simply not worth it.
