Do you have a vga monitor? If you don't it will be silly to get such a high powered graphics card

like i told GO KILL YOURSELF !!!

Who's "go kill yourself"? I would like to meet him

i wanna meet him too.. GO KILL YOURSELF sounds like a cool guy..

What will be the first thing you say to him? I think i'll say "Hey go kill yourself!"

Dont waste your money on a FX5200, its useless, only good for tetris. TI4200 is a DX8 card, no good with any current games(but not a bad card back in the day). With your CPU i would look at ATI 9600 series, they come in all different shapes, sizes and prices, you will be much better off with this card. I dont think you need to go as far as an XT, i would look at the Pro & All In One models. The 9600 has to be one of the most reproduced cards in history, there are over 120 different models

edit Let me just point out that any benchmarks you see are normally tested on high end system(P4 3.4ghz). So you can use these as a rough guideline, but i wouldnt rely on them to much due to your P4 1.6 GHZ!

Yup, its a Geforce 4MX with a few tiny upgrades. For example the games that you listed will never play maxed out on this card(FX5200). Look around for 9600, you will find one to fit your budget! The FX series basicaly sucks ass, the only performers are the high end 5900+ and the prices are barmey. The "FX 5950+-X Ultra Special Super Tweaked OC super special version thing" is wait for it..........................£375. Er still, as i type in the shops right now with that price attached to it

The ATI drivers are not that Bad, i know alot of people complain about them but i have had almost NO problems at all. When i installed 9800pro on my big system it sorted out alot of issues i was having with my TI4800.
I always had Nvidia, but now im converted, although Nvidia are kicking as with there 6800, its th price that the problem there though!
BTW i sold my TI4800 about a month ago for £40(cost £200 8 month ago), its shame, i could have sold you this card!

you should not say shit like that to other people without judging yourself first...
its the same when you point at someone... you got 3 fingers pointing back at you..

Homer should just be shot, it would help us all alot.

Well, to attract attention away from Homer, I will post what this thread is about: Graphics Cards. I too am in need of a new one so that I may play Live 2005. I am looking for suggestions of an affordable, high performance one. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be great.

WTF, why dont you advertise it in your sig & avator as well, are you trying to cause me grief. I like to talk about anything involving PC's, thats all. Your acting like i told you to go and buy it, i just gave you my opinion. You dont have to get so excited about it

Gehehehe, he needs to show he made a new friend besides Spam Harder.

J/k, as you put it Homer.
