GeforceFX 5200 or ATI 9100\9200?

[Pete]

Bateluer, that's the second time you've put my name next to someone else's quote in this thread. You've even got nemesis doing it.

Again, the 5200 is competitive against a 9000/9200, and is much faster in AA (although you're limited to lower resolutions if you want decent framerates w/AA+AF). But I think a similarly-priced 9100 may be a better choice. Obviously, a $125+ card will do better than an $80 one, but that's not the question at hand.

If you don't believe me about the 5200 comparing well to a 9200/9000, take a look at some recent reviews--TechReport's Det FX review shows the new drivers boosting the 5200 to 9000P speeds.

Edit: BTW, that NewEgg spec list for the 9200 is an obvious misprint limited to the Sapphire 9200s. Other 9200s are specced correctly.

Its the GF2MX200 of Nvidia's product line, and loses out to the competition repeatedly. If you can't afford the 9600np now, wait a month.

Your comment is wrong and you obviously don't know what your talking about. If the fx5200 "loses out to the competition repeatedly" then supply proof to back up your comment!

Hell you didn't even know that the Radeon 9200 was DX8 not DX9 so your knowledge is obviously inferior!

Does anyone know if the Ti4200 has the same "Detect Displays" option as the onboard GF4 MX video on the MSI nForce 2 motherbaord when you try to select a diffent video output? I can't get the TV output to work on my integrated video, I assume it is because it can't detect the TV behind the RF converter I need to get the Svideo/RCA cable into my kids TV. I would like to buy the Ti4200 with VIVO if can choose to turn on the second display and not have to use the Detect Displays option. Otherwise I will save $55 and get the Crucial ATI 9100 and forget about the VIVO for now. Does anyone have any idea what I am rambling on about?

I like the Inno3D Geforce FX 5200 Ultra I've been using recently, although it's no match for the gf4 ti4200 without aa/af enabled it's a great overclocker.
