Don't insult the MX440.


The FX SERIES! is two craps below the GF4MX440.


The MX440 is a very good budget card, and if you get a good one it overclocks like mad:D

Not really. Its like the Geforce4 MX. Just a bad assed Geforce 2 with more DX support. (it lacks in fancy shader stuff and is still not nearly as fast ans the better cards)

The 5200 is a good card, except for gaming, much to slow. I put 2 of these in economy computers. I got to play with them first. One was a Chaintech 128mb and the other was an Asus 128mb. The Chaintech was really slow and didn't overclock very well. The Asus was slow but overclocked very nicely. Both cards had good resolution and picture quality. I wouldn't consider either card for gaming. My ti 4200 64mb beat both by 4000 points in 3DMark 2001SE.

actually I have to agree with that.

if you can get a Ti4200 for say 70 pounds, then that should be better than the FX5200.

why dont you just get a geforce 2 TI and overclock it, and it would eat the 5200 for lunch.
