That video card was a POS from the day it came out. You could buy a TI4200 and get better framerates than an FX5200, and the FX5200 is NEWER! So don't tell me it's not a total piece of junk. Even the FX5500 is slower than the 4200.PerfectSK said:Dude, its not a total piece of junk. It may perform better since its not intergrated but the FX series is a bit outdated. They perform alrite in most games, but you'll have to sacrifice frame rates with this card. Overall, I think you'll see better performance with your 6100. If you can still return the card, go for it, and save up for a nice 6600gt, or x850xt.
Then you have the FX5600, which is just as fast a 4200, yet way more expensive. Again, a total over-priced piece of junk. I sincerely believe that the FX series was a lost cause and should have never been released. Horrible DX9 support.. just TRY playing FarCry with one of those cards.. even at MEDIUM lighting quality...
