FX5200 should be labled with the MX label to let everybody knows where it fits in the performance chain. A GF2 would probably out perform the FX5200.

I'm selling the damn card, it's SLOWER than my GF3! Framerrate dropped to 60-70fps in Quake 3. My GF3 gave me 98-100. WTF? This is so sad.. it's worth jack even at 50% off..

now i TRULY feel bad for the ppl who paid full $100.. wtf..

**BUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA**

I'm not laughing at you...I'm laughing with you 😀

why u laughing at me? I'm not at any loss, I can return the card for full refund or sell it on ebay for more profit. And yes, it's very sad how I got the GF3 for $50 at FS/FT here and at the same amount of $$, it's crappier.. and that's with 50% off..

wow..

just wow..

As everyone's been saying, try the new drivers.
 
Well, I'M laughing AT you. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Your grubby Ferengi ass didn't make out like you thought you would, did you? Hope WalMart doesn't give you a refund. After all, it WAS already opened and you did get 50% off. Try to sell it on Ebay and let some other LOSER get stuck with it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :evil::evil::evil::evil:

heheh... i like the little touch at the end with the devil icons :evil:
 
LOL, that sucks dude. At least you only paid 50%. Now if you sell it for a profit, then it'd be worth it.

I was tired of buying mx and lower end cards all the time, so I got the 9600 Pro instead this time. It should hold out longer. 🙂

Dude, you did good. These guys think its cool to bash the FX line of cards. Put it in your PC and be happy!
You better get that thing on enay bow!!!! I saw one doing the 3dmark2001se treadmill and it was getting like 20fps in Nature. teh sux. eNay. bow.
 
the ti200 is probably barely slower than the fx5200. at least you got the 128mb one, the 64mb ones have 64bit bus and are just lame. some of the 128mb ones are like that too, they only have 4 chips instead of 8, but i doubt bfg would even sell that version

I would say excelent deal, you got the Fx5200 for exactly what its worth, $50 😀

LOL!!! 🙂 I don't think it's worth that much😉

why is the card so bad compared to GF4s? Isn't FX supposed to be better? Where can I read up about these things? Like i said, I was happy with my humble GF3 Ti200, which played all my games fine.

64mb to 128mb upgrade alone should be good enough.

I think this card benched about the same as a Ti200.

Guys, let him see the lights! Poor guy wrote this thread all proud, and happy, then you people say all these sh!t about it.
BTW, I would have said it was a good deal if you bought a FX5600.

Well, if a friend of mine brings in a 350 lb chick with a big wart on the tip of her noise with a big hair growing out of it, a Tonka truck ass, and enough jelly to spread on 5 loaves of bread, you better believe I'm gonna say something😛

As if the fact that she's 350 lbs isn't enough, she has to have a big, hairy wart, a fat ass, and jelly rolls!
 
Well it's certainly not his fault for making that mistake. It really is good marketing/misrepresentation by nVidia. My friend fell for the same thing. Bought one for $90 and though he was getting a great deal by replacing his 4200. Unless you keep on top of the reviews there is simply no way of knowing what is a good and what is a bad video card these days. I mean who would guess that a "GF-FX 5200 Ultra" is about the same or worse than a "GF-2 Ti200" based on the names alone. It's intentionally misleading IMHO.
