Graphics Card

[razor5000]

I've been looking at the last two graphics cards on this web site and would like to know if it is ok for playing some games like (at 1024):

GTR
GTA SA
UT2004
Half Life 2

The new graphics card it will replace a Nvidia FX5200. I do not want to pay much more than £50 or £60 and it must be fanless.

Is this graphics card faster or slower than a TI4400 128mb, and should I buy the 128mb version or the 256mb?

I am rather out of date with the latest and greatest so I need some help, if you need any more information please ask.

You say you want to play UT 2004 and Half-life2? You're not going to be able to play those games very well with the GeForce 6200. You're cripled by a 64-bit memory path and a lousy fill-rate of only 1.2 Gigatexels/second.

I think the better option is a 6600GT or a used Radeon 9700 Pro with 128MB of RAM and then you can play those games at least at 1024x768 at high quality settings with no AA and 16x AF.🙂

I would save your $$$ and get a passive 6600GT, I believe they exist.
Anything else is a waste of your money.

It is out of your price range, but it is fanless and is much more capable that the 6200. Save up your money and buy something like this.

Thanks for the replies.

It will be used on an old 1Ghz AMD Athlon with 768Mb of Memory and a 30Gb Hard Drive, this is my test system that I test software before implementing on other more important computers.
I just would like to play the odd computer game now and then. It is not my main computer so I don't need to have blazingly fast graphics, just something that will be better than the FX5200,
which is not too hard. I do have a small budget because I do not play many computer games, so I am not prepared to spend much money on it.

Sorry I did not explain this earlier.
