Asylum 5600 ultra or MSI TI4200?

elnicoya88 · 11-29-03, 02:46 AM

Just got the Asylum 5600 ultra at frys electronics for $99, is this A card better and faster than my MSI TI4200? Is it worth the upgrade or should I take this card back...money really matters since im not working right now.

Thanks,

I'd say it's a pretty good upgrade.

Its not much of an upgrade, but you can sell that on ebay for a profit

I haven't used either cards, but I also suspect it isn't much of an upgrade.

I think the improvement will be negligible. Not really worth the coin even if you had it to spare.

Hmm, I thought the 5600s were a little faster than the 4200... Guess I was wrong.

5600 ultra rev 2 is better then a ti4600, speed wise, if there was one, it would be what the ti4600 is to the ti4400, to the ti4600 if that didnt confuse you.

I would pay $100 for an fx5600 ultra then resell it on ebay for a profit, even the non ultras go for that much, the ultras for more

the 4200 will bench higher but the 5600 has dx9 support so me being the bencher that I am I say go for the 4200

the dx9 the fx cards have is slow and bad iq, especially the fx5200 and fx5600.....
