how much fps would i get with a amd xp2600+, nvidia fx5200 128mb with 1gig of ram?

Hard to tell, but as I said in the other thread, ditch the 5200, its not worth it... its just a GeForce 4 mx with dx9

Grab yerself an ATI Radeon 9600 if you want the best bang for buck

[mayesey]

how much extra is the radeon?

[Fragmatic]

Geforce FX 5200 = �50
Radeon 9600 Pro = �140

Radeon 9600 > Geforce FX 5200, absolutely pisses all over it

Go to the tech forum for better help. The guys who visit thier regularly will be of alot of help.

[mayesey]

thats quite a bit more is there anything cheaper but still quite good?

[Fragmatic]

not really

*cough* 9200 *cough*

[mayesey]

so the 9200 would work well with planetside? i can get 1 gig of ram and that would then make planetside decent enough to play? i will have broadband aswell by then

[I Hate Pants]

your all set!

I'm getting the 9200

Radeon 9600 Pro gets pissed on by the XT model and its the same price (199.90), if you have that much to spend on a graphics card then get that. I hear it beats Nvidia's $300 card

Don't get a 5200 it get womped by ATI INTEGRATED graphics chipset, for the p4. and there is no better bang for the buck than a 9600 pro or XT, though i hear the 5700 ultra is pretty good, but Nvidia is not so trustworthy right now
