mrlipring Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 well, i have a ti4200 128mb golden sample 650xp. Do you want vivo? it would appear that the 5200 is SLIGHTLY faster, with dx9 support, but no vivo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrlipring Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 do you plan on using tv-in? will you be wanting to capture video? if not, the geforce fx is what you want. either card is pretty good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ME! Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 it should. just make sure the cards have T&L support, which they most likely do, and you will be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrlipring Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 either of those cards will play any of the current games just fine, assuming you're running a relatively fast machine anyway. (faster than 1ghz) they both have t@l, yeah. the only difference between them is that the fx has full dx9 support, and the gf4 has tv-in, and is a wee bit slower.
