ti4200 vs 5200

Hi all

quick question:

which card would be better in my partner's p4 2.8ghz out of a ti4200
or a 5200? I know the 5200's got a bad rep but it is newer and
supports dx9...

any thoughts gratefully received

thanks

Of the two, a Geforce Ti4200 is superior, unless he or she has one of the
extremely rare FX5200 Ultra cards, in which case it's actually a bit better.
An standard 128bit FX5200 is a slower card with DX9 support tossed in as a
buying incentive for the less informed about gaming cards at the time. ABout
20% slower overall that a standart Ti4200 depending on the bench and
test.The 64bit FX5200 is basically just a 2D card.

Sorry about all the typos, I was embarrased when i reread after posting. Way
up from my usual one or so. Early AM for me and not enough coffee yet.

My question is, why would you want to use either? When you can get modern
cards that would blow both away? I have a cupboard full of everything from
4200TI's, 9600's up to 5600's. I had an x800GTO but put it in a system I
build for someone about 1 1/2 years ago. I cant bring myself to throw them
away, but, alls they do is collect dust lol.
just doing a quick search on newegg, I found this card

This one is $40 cheaper right now, without mailing in and waiting 3 months
for a maybe rebate, and is faster to boot. In fact, it's the fastest AGP
card out there.

Why not a 7600GS. Works very well.
I changed from a Ti4200 to 7600GS.
What a change!
