2.0 out of 5 stars
Might be okay for some,
This review is from: XFX GF FX5200 AGP8X 256MB DDR DVI/TVO (Personal Computers)
First a warning to save potential hassle (for both you and Amazon!) Make sure you have an AGP expansion slot in your computer. A lot of cheap computers don't have them, so the graphics card can't be upgraded at all. I know a few people who have just assumed that their PC was upgradable without checking!On the card itself. This is actually a good example of an FX5200, without the crippled memory bandwidth of some rival brands. If you just need a 'real' graphics card so you can play Championship Manager, the Sims or online games then this should do the trick. It should also cope well with any game released BEFORE 2005. BUT, don't think that this sort of card will give good performance in modern 3D games - you'll need a 6600 model for that (they cost £70). The difference between this an a 6600 will be very significant and the extra £30 could be well worth it. Also, don't be fooled by thinking 256MB of memory or 8xAGP are meningful indicators of performance. This is totally unimportant for a "low-end" card like this. With graphics cards, it's the model name that matters, not the amount of memory. This card will be totally outclassed by a 128 MB Geforce 6600 or a Radeon 9600Pro. WARNING, TECH-SPEAK FOLLOWS: This card will struggle to cope with 64MB of graphics texture, let alone 256MB. Only the latest £150+ cards are able to cope with 256MB of textures. I was quite suprised to see an old FX5200 model as the top-seller on Amazon. I'm giving it 3 stars because it's good at what it does, which is to make a few games playable for people who have an old or cheap computer which came with no specialised graphics card. But if you want to play modern 3D games on medium or better detail settings then get a better card. There's a PNY 128MB Geforce 6600 on Amazon for about 70 quid, which should be considered.

I bought this card for use with The Sims 2 and though I'm sure there are fantastic cards out there, for a girl on a budget this was a good find.The game now runs with all high specs, which is basically what I was looking for. Take into consideration the other reviews before purchase, and also get advice on what you want it for. I got a lot of advice before making the purchase, simply because it is quite a large one (for me) moneywise. Summary
