Right before we start i'd like to say that i'm no "pc upgrade geek who knows it all" just incase. Anyway, my old radeon 9000 64mb literally sucked so i thought yay me go buys a new card, i heard alot about this sertain fx5200 geforce card and iv'e read some about it comments etc, alot of people says it's just a pile of crap and some says it's "wonderful", since it was so cheap and on retail i just bought it for myself, it's a 256mb card anyhow i thought. Now with my radeon 9000 64mb i got like 10-25 fps on 1024x768 and all settings on high/highest on battlefield vietnam, and 30- fps on hl2+mods with the same settings, i got the new card (fx5200) just some days ago, installed it and the drivers and so on, i went to try it out on battlefield vietnam, with everything on high as usual, now here's the odd part, i just can't get more than 15-30 fps on bf:vietnam with it and something like 20-30 tops on cs source or any hl2 game, my first response was too loud to mention, but what the hell? 256mb card vs a 64mb card gives equals? (lol..) is it just some card install problems that causes this bad performance (or anything like that) or does this card literally sucks ass?, although it was so cheap i feel kind of fooled and i regret i ever bought the card. I'd like your opinnion on this, i'm currently saving up for a 6600gt 128 card atm and before i go fool myself again you think that would be a good idea? to get the 6600gt card that is.
The card is AGP and works fine, but the fps sucks.
