GF4 MX440-8X or GF FX5200 ?

jvidia · 08-14-2004, 07:09 PM

I need an advice from you all

I need a backup vga board to install in my system for when I am selling/bying a vga board .... for my PC to be usable.

And I've got the chance to by one of those two :

-> XFX Geforce 4 MX440 8x 64Mb w/ TV-Out ( retail version )

-> Albatron Geforce FX5200 128Mb w/ TV-out and DVI ( retail version )

Witch should I choose ? And why ?

go with the fx5200. both are around the same price. plus the fx5200 is faster and has dx9.

I've been in this same boat and got MSI FX5200 without the fan.
I has a DVI and VGA connector and 128mg of ram.

The dual monitor support and the fact it has a dvi along with the price make it the best one IMHO.

Man ... for 5 euros more it's no contest.

I've got both cards... And I've heard from other people that the FX5200 is not that great compared to the MX440....

IEHO (In everyone's humble opinion LOL), The 5200 is not a gaming card, and should only be looked at like an entry-level card. Mainstream, you'll need a 9600 Pro/XT or GFX 5700 at least.

IMO, the GFX 5200 is better than the MX440... in the cards you specified, it even has double the Video RAM. But I have a MX400 (frankly about the same as the MX440), and it is about 25% scaled down compared with my 5200 (and without DX9 support too).
