GeForce FX 5200 vs. ATI Radeon 9600 Pro

[dml54]

Does anyone know the preformance difference I would get if I replaced my GeForce FX 5200 with an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro?

Huge 🙂
For more precise numbers, read the video card / graphics card reviews on the main anandtech site and at tomshardware.com

I know for DX-9 games the 9600 Pro will slaughter the FX5200. Just look at the HL2 benchmarks. On DX-8 games I think the 9600Pro will still be better.

Is this a joke? A fx5200 will get destroyed by a 9600 pro.

A 9600P will be at least twice as fast across the board..

9600 pro all the way

The FX5200 has trouble keeping ahead of the MX440... let alone the 9600pro

lol what a question, the 9600pro will eat the 5200 for breakfast

Unless you play all your games at 800x600 with everything disabled on a crappy 15 inch monitor (please, God, no), the 5200 will be begging for mercy compared to a 9600 Pro. And if you're playing any DX9 games (you didn?t say), your best bet is any ATI R3xx (9600, 9700, 9800, etc.) for now. Any NVIDIA NV3x (5200, 5600, 5900, etc.) shouldn't even be considered in the first place for these types of titles, in case you're going to be making a purchasing decision based on this thread. 🙂
