Paranoid Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 No point buying a 5200 to "upgrade" because the Ti 4200 beats the crap out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchalogamer Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Yeah i'd say ATI 9600 series or higher up to a 9800 XT then look at a 6800 reg if you want a REAL upgrade lol. Cant help you with the ram but i ahve a friend ho still has his PNY 5200 Ultra 8x AGP (i have a PNY 5200 PCI (and i like it better than the AGP version, higer FPS than his "ultra") ill ask him if he wants to sell, he's actually a member here but we all make him feel stupid so he leaves....

C0mpn00b Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Only reason I'm looking at a 5200+ is because, I'll be deploying in about 4 months and just need something that is going to get me by until I get back and I'll prob get a 6600 or the 6800. Also can anyone tell me what the difference between pci express and agp really is, break it down barney style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayway Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 my boy has a 5200 let me see how much he wants for it I sold him my 9800xt so he'll come off it pretty sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
asus Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 No point buying a 5200 to "upgrade" because the Ti 4200 beats the crap out of it. yup true true.. maybe the FPS is a small bit lower.. but the QUALITY OF THE CARD is MUCH BETER i suggest getting some ram.. i have corsair XMS 3200 PRO with the LEDS with timings of 2-2-2-5 i suggest you head on over to http://www.3dgameman.com and check out his video reviews on all the ram..
