Ti4200 or Fx 5200

no question bout it...5200 is at the level of a mx440 and gets beaten by the mx460...the ti4200 will deffinately smack it around.
 
Feel free to assume from the replies that a Ti4200 is still a good card and that a 5200 is a piece of excrement.
 
heh, without saying something like the others have mentioned, the 4200 is WAY better.

FX5200 is comparable to like a GF2, the 4200, obviously is not 😀
 
There is no FX 4600. The Ti4200 is faster than an FX5600, and about par with an FX5600 Ultra (rev 2).
A Ti4600 would probably edge out the FX5600Ultra (In DirectX 8).
FX5600Ultra would get the edge in DirectX9 games.
 
The sad part about FX5200/5200 Ultra, and 5600 non-ultra series cards is that they do possess the direct 9 capabilities and features, but their GPUs are just too slow to able to play the games while take advantage of these technologies at normal quality settings. Surely, with the future encore of new games, these cards will find it more difficult to cope with the increased texture and shader requirments. On the other hand, 4200 can simply revert to using Direct X 8.0 features and 1.1 pixel shaders (since it doesnt' support 9.0+) which wont make the games look pretty as compared to these cards in question, but it will run them much faster. Trust me it's better to play a game at 50FPS with the old pixel shaders and so on than at 20fps with a card that must use 9.0 features but isnt capable of doing so effectively to provide playability. On top of the fact if you can find a used or a cheap 4200 card for lower prices than the 2 in question.

same could be said for 9600pro, though many would agree that 9600pro is much faster because you can enable AA/AF with much less performance cost than gf4ti series.
 
guys havent u got bored of all these 9800vs 5900 and 4200vs5200 threads?
