Very simple...


I have an FX5200 Nvidia...it was to replce his onboard video of a NF2 mobo, but that is when we only played FS2002....

Howvere now we play underground NFS and soon to be NFS Underground 2.....Should I take out the FX5200 and place my older Radeon 8500AIW card (clock it to 225/225...AIW are clocked lower) and take advance od the video out plugs and send it to his 27" Sony Wega TV or just play on his monitor...

The issue I saw was in 3dmark2k1SE this card performed terribly...Almost to levels my GF2 pro and GF4mx cards get....My radeon 8500 can get 10000 in 3dmark yet this 5200 only gets 5000...

I want to run at 1024x768 res with high detail.....no lag....

I see none now but I only run at med with 800x600...I think the underground 2 is more intense though...
 
The 8500AIW would be a vast improvement over the 5200. Especially if it's a 64-bit FX5200.

Why would you replace the onboard video of an NF2 (~= a GF2MX) with an FX5200? That's more of a sidegrade than anything (although at least it wouldn't be a drain on your system's memory bandwidth, FWIW).
 
It is a 64bit one with 128mb ddr3...The board died so I said enough with these integrated mobos and got a good Gigabyte board and a standalone card. I got it cause it said it was DX9.0 card...
