  • this video card actually sucked, it matched the speed of my geforce 3 ti-500 and was slower than my geforce 4 ti-4200. they screwed up the fx series

  • this dude could probably make me buy a Pentium I

  • I used to have a fx5500 it was absolutly fine for most older games, The Sims 2 ,Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 and so on.. You have to remember that TigerDirect are a company and this is more a promo video for selling stuff than an actual review for the card, so even if its old, they still have to clear stock out thier warehouse probably.

  • Was a good card for its time.

  • I can't believe how old this graphic card is but it's the one I'm still using.

  • I still have that grafic card :D

  • This Video Card Is Released 2003 So

    2011 - 2003 = 8 Years

    O_O

  • lol this card is from what year? 1998 ? :D

  • I like listening to this. He makes 5-year old stuff sound exciting and new! I guess because it WAS new... "Directx 10 and high-end gaming" lolololol

  • i have this card and it's noisy as fuck xD

  • @warmaxxx it's old a s balls, too.

  • Tigerdirect should be banned from selling shit.

    They want 40$-60$ for this shit!

    Their whole site is basically a fucking SCAM!

    This thing is hardly worth 10 let alone 2 goddamn dollars! =_=

    I could get a fucking new PSU and a 9600GT for the fucking price they want for Low-end video cards!

  • 2 on the same computer? I pulled out this card and my 2 evga GeForce FX5500s and I'm running quad monitors.

  • Yes my Sister got a new PC. nice one 775 socket Intel Core2Duo E8500 6GB RAM

    but no GPU. It hat some lame Intel HD graphics. But it didn't support Aero on vista and 7 !!!! So I found this card in my computer parts box. I have the Game edition so like an OC one. Putted it in the Windows 7 Ultimate PC and installed Vista drivers from 2006 (last ones made) And now Very nice Aero and very fast for normal use. Just perfect if you don't need more than a youtube pc and Office and some games. ;)

  • If you wana play games which are released after 2005 ..just dont buy this card

    I have this card but i am going to buy a Radeon HD 3850

    well fx5200 can run games like nfs most wanted. nfs carbon ,gta sanandreas , Farcry

  • is this still a good graphics card???? will it run like gta 4 or any games???

  • @yoman299 Your sarcastic right?

  • I have this card....I HATE it. I wish i had a good graphics card, actually a good pc all over.

  • FX 5200 is Better than 9600GT -__-

  • @murkins001 WTF who told you that?

  • Lol my Grandmothers integrated graphics outperforms this by 1000 fps

  • I bought this at a yardsale for 3 dollars.. lol im dumb sometimes.

  • im still using my fx5200

  • the card i played my first games on (halo, rainbow six 3 ravenshield, css and gta vice city xD)

  • My old graphics card... :)

  • Even a Geforce 6100 nforce 405 is more better :)

  • i had this just to run halo ..lol..nothing compared to my gtx 590..lol..those were the days...

  • looooooooooooooool

  • Why is everyone laughing about this card? I can run Far Cry on high with it, and I got it for free

  • UHAUAHUAH this card makes me laugh. I have brought one when the FX 5 series was launched... it is a crap... I regret having spend about 75$ in this card replacing my old love GeForce MX 4800 (I did not know about the diference of low-end high-end cards in that epoch)

  • lol this was one of the best graphic cards in its time

  • @7EyesWideOpen and geforce 7300?

  • Comment removed

  • @7EyesWideOpen More like it sucked.

  • I remember i bought this card when i was 14yrs old.. And i was like screaming and jumping when i had this installed in my p.c, i was like "hell yeah! I now have the most powerful video card in the world no one can stop me now!!"... But now this thing looks like a Old Telephone compared to my GTX 460 which now looks like an iPHONE or an iPAD something like dat.. ahahahaha

  • shieet the geforce 4 ti series is faster then this crap card.

  • @BlueIsa7 From what I read most 6200's run on a 64-bit bus, thus the lack of speed when Anti-aliasing and doing Anisotropic filtering, however things like 2x should work, 2x anti-aliasing is the least heavy of all anti-aliasing techniques because it is the weakest, if a card cannot do that then it there is a major problem plus not being able to do 4x Anisotropy an a NV card (Even low end) is sort of unheard of, even my bro's old 5200 could do 4x AS and still play well........=/

  • "This is the PNY Geforce 5200 PCI urrrr and it cant run jack shit".

  • @jdcrispe95 Actually ironically it can, it just can't run super high end games, or games at extremely maxed out settings, it could run Half-Life 2 on low or medium, at 40FPS or so, though AA on Geforce FX is kinda of balls.......seriously it doesn't work entirely properly some edges are clean (Which is a good reason to turn it on anyway) some are not (Draws you away from using it).

  • No,I have one. It's worse than integrated graphics.They Sell for 30 Bucks.

    GET A RADEON HD 3/4xxx Series They Cost the Same And Are 100x Faster!!!

  • @GenuineMW2 Actually, I've tried it and the 5200 isn't all bad at all, it's just not for the HARDCORE gamer, if you want to do some gaming with shit like Half-life 2, and all that but not have a behemoth rig, then the 5200 is pretty decent, just go to remember DX 8.0 and low or medium settings.......ROFL, though 8.0/8.1 are barely discernible from 9.0 until you get to the lazily developed water and sunlight for 8.0.

  • @kawaiifreak860 no,it's horrible.get a 30 dollar gfx card and i'll still be 100x better!

  • @GenuineMW2 Sure sure, silly douche bag, this card is made for people who can't install one of those in their computer, aka a fancy card (including the low end 8400GS) take too much power, and or are incompatible with their PCI slot, and if you say well then get a new mobo, I'm blocking you, not everyone can afford a new computer, hell I got mine for 20$ and it kicks ass it makes my moms 150$ one look like shit, (45-59.94FPS with a old i815 GPU (IGP) vs. 30FPS on a Radeon X300 on low settings)

  • @kawaiifreak860 it's a fucking 8 year old card damn!

  • @GenuineMW2 Damn indeed, It lacks support for specifc things (Which can sometimes be noticable mainly it's lack of support for anything pertaining to or mimicing particles I.E. dust/sand) and of course I can't play Half-life 2 or anything like that on it, however hardware intensive emulators (Such as Project 64) along with Games that usually bog systems down that aren't up to speed, run perfectly fine on it, Ocarina of time, etc, run with no problems, sometimes with Anistropy on!

  • @kawaiifreak860 I can play Half-Life 2, Far Cry and a LOT of other new games on high. So what's the problem with having this card?

  • @TheHL2Guy

    I have only Two things to answer pics or didn't happen.

    And I know how the hardware works if you seriously are playing "new games" on that thing your getting about 15-25fps (35-40FPS is acceptable).

  • @kawaiifreak860 On Half-Life 2 and FarCry i have 30-45 FPS

  • i Have an old pc at work with an intel celeron 1.7ghz and 1.5gb ddr2 ram and a crappy intel integrated chip. if I install this will I be able to play WoW cataclysm in the Lowest settings?

  • I can't wait until this comes out!!!!! I'm sooooo going to get one!!!!!!! XD

  • @SLeePYG727860 haha lol =)

  • My PNY GeForce FX 5200 is colored purple, uses AGP slot, and a fan/circular heat sink

  • hmm fx 5200 is from 2004, end review are from 2007?wtf?

  • wow 1024x768 is a "really high resolution".......

  • @jdcrispe95

    For a TV it is a very high resolution, especially with the technology at the time.

  • @thehalflifedude 2004, 2005??

    my oldie tv from the 90's (ITT Nokia) can display 1280x1024 no problem O.o

  • @jdcrispe95

    Yeah, downscaled as hell I'm sure.

  • @thehalflifedude as I said, no problem.

    i can read text (like this) fine...

  • Hi i have a program called unity to make games but it won't run cause of my video card it says my card is only 2 texture unit card and i need at least four can u guys help me know wich card can i buy that has at least four unit texture

  • Okay I am thinking about buying a graphics card becasue I play a lots of PC games...but I don't know much about these cards and budget is kind of low like around $100...so which grphics card would be best in that budget area?

  • @kaziabir1 get a radeon hd 5570 bro..under 100$ lol

  • so back in 2007 they found a few box's full of those and where like.. lets try sell em for 150 just for the lolz

  • which one is better plz some1 reply nvidia geforce 8200m g or GeForce FX 5200 

  • Wow, I best most of you haven't seen a ISA or a VLB graphics card let alone the propitiatory designs.

    This card is ok for the basics like spread sheets and old games but don't expect much. I wouldn't be surprised if a Geforce3 TI 300 would beat this card lol or a old V5 4500 in openGL.

  • Ah yes the much loved FX5200..

    Actually it hardly did get any love for a reason for obvious reasons. A performance of 0, but yeah to be fair at least its media ofloading did something. Not that much ...

  • @masticina even the old geforce ti series is faster then the stinkin 5200. 5950 wasnt a bad card, it had 4X2 pixel pipeline, wasnt a true 8 pixels per clock peak pipeline unlike the radeon 9800xt which it did.

    9800xt was a better peforming directx card, owned both cards in the past.

  • @SparklesofUnity

    Well as I said there is media offloading. In that time not a bad option. But the limited design of the FX series [One set of shaders for Dx7, Another set for Dx8 and oh yes in what space is left for Dx9] even the top models we're limited in performance. As I notice right there it has to do with a faulty hardware design.

    The Ati cards simply did Dx7/8/9 with the same pixel pipelines. The Fx Series though it was better to give each their own special ones.

  • @masticina also didn't nvidia at that time ruled in open gl based application, ati ruled in directx??

  • @SparklesofUnity

    True when it came to OpenGL based games one really could best go for Nvidia.

    Directx performance on the FX series was gimped but on both later and earlier series was quite good.

  • @masticina Take a look at the geforce ti with half-life 2, 128mb version, with resolution of 1920X1080 on an ancient card, ytube it. take a look

  • lol AGP X8 interface xD

  • wooooow PCI INTERFACE!!!!!

  • im having this gpu and its overheating like hell ~ ~... dont know whats wrong... i cant even watch movies with subtitles ~ ~...

  • it is fastest video card in world it can play ever thing max even metor 2033 no joke

  • I have this card right next to me :D Only problem is it's dead.

  • This card was a BEAST back in 2005-2006, but mine was AGP :=\

  • @shigalbigal Fx 5200 was always slow and came out in 2003.

  • @Protoking Well yeah, but some people we're benching it in 2005, the time when GPU pots became less expensive

  • Can this run PAC man?

  • @xXJOEVXx Yeah, but on lowest settings aand only 10 fps xD

  • @xXJOEVXx Good question Joe. Seeing how Pac-Man is a newer game and can be a little taxing on your State-of -the-Art PC, I would recommend that you disable the sound, end all processes on your PC, and put all settings on very low. With the FX 5200 and those settings, I can safely say that you can get a hefty 7 to 9.5 FPS out of pac-man. No Joke! Totally worth the 150$, even used.

  • I play crysis maxed with this card smoothly 0.0001 fps

  • When he said "For $150" I almost died laughing. That is not worth $5 now XD

  • @vaguedustin He said for "under 50 bucks"

  • @Protoking Get new speakers bro

  • @vaguedustin You need new speakers, this video was made in 2007, those cards weren't selling for $150 when they were new back in 2003.

    Even I heard under 50 bucks.

  • @vaguedustin i just got one :(

  • @ZayLong How

  • @poopzorpee uncle had one in an ol box. gave it to me.

  • hahahahaha i got pny verto geforce fx 5500 and its BAD i dont mean bad i can play tomb rider legend on mid settings nfs carbon nfs mw gta sa :) etc so thats good but well if eany one can tell me of good agp card apart from geforce 6200 512 mb

  • @Swierzaczek95 try going to a 5600 or 5700 the 5500 is just a 5200 with slower clocks nv says so on their site. :( the 5600/5700 are the same as a 5900 but consume less power.

  • @kawaiifreak860 i heard that radeon hd 3400 or some thing like that in agp is good but i found 6200 in agp with 512mb

  • @Swierzaczek95 nice :P

    But 6200 sucks.

    Go with a 6600 or an FX 5600+ card. lol

    6200 can barely play anything I've seen some guy put HL2 on low just to get a frame rate higher then 20FPS. o.o

  • @kawaiifreak860 cool thanx for some tips :D

  • @Swierzaczek95 no problem just beware most people I know or have ran into that use a geforce 6 series GPU have all ran into one problem that the other series lack (except the GT 400 series which is a massive failure.) They literally will not last long, my X best frien ha one took care of it yet it's life span was over in just 3months. o.O

    It was just like wtf. :c

  • @kawaiifreak860 so true... got 6200 to play farcry... guess what...could not even get 10 fps... sold with 1/3 price to get 6600 back in the days.

  • My GPU purchased history would be: ( from oldest) 1. 1995 ( some intel onboard 1MB) 2. 1997 ( Voodoo 3 7000 ) 3. 1999 ( SIS S3 ) sucks though 4. 2001 ( nvidia RIva TNT 2 ) Leadtek 5. 2002 ( nvidia Geforce 4 400 MX ) Leadtek 6. 2005 ( Radeon 9750 ) ATI 7. 2006 (Nvidia 7800 ) Gainward 8. 2007 (Nvdia 8800 GTX ) XFX 9. 2008 ( Radeon 4870 ) Powercolor 10. 2010 ( Radeon 5970 ) XFX
  • @gigalin give me ur 8800GTX please.it would be great if u give me the 4870

  • @MrNoNameX1 sry m8, Its in my little nephew budget PC now..he is just 8 and only reason for his PC to get 8800 is win7 aero.

  • @gigalin oh man

    i'm stuck with my Intel X4500 which is sucks really bad

  • you can also use dual monitors on a 7300gt and its way stronger.

    i have one so id know.

  • PCI-Interface, is that like the speed of AGP 1x ??

  • i love this thing i am used to play gta vice city on this card it ran NICE then lol now i have a new system

  • this card was good at its time. This was my first card back in 2006. I liked it and had a good experience with it. Now I got my GTX 480!

  • can i use with my 8600 gt from geoforce

  • drools** 0_0

  • cool this is a great vid makes me remind of the old pc times you know

  • wow this was really crap, even back on 2007

  • WTF did he just woke up and started making a video LOL??? Look at this hair OMG HAHAHAHA.

  • this will destroy my 2x superclocked gtx 280's haha :D

  • man i just come here because this was my first card---lolol....

    dylf14 you have this card???lol well you dont use much of graphics right?? i use now the radeon 5870, peace

  • i have this...Old...can't play much and plays slow

  • do you have the driver disc? is it pci? please if you have them may you can help me I have try with nvidea web s driver and doestn work

  • check his hair ^

  • lol after watching the tiger tv review of ATI Radeon 5970, this review looks like stone age :D

  • @SoniGary Oh I'm from the future and after watching the video on the HD 5970 I literally laughed myself to death.

    What's wrong with an old card like this? Just because it's not meant to play the most intense games doesn't mean it sucks. That doesn't give you the ability to say that this was a bad card because this was a GREAT card back then. Hence, date if you're too retarded to read.

  • @SoniGary And even @ 1+ghz core, 5.4+(memory) on the 5970(watercooled),

    I can still have programs going down to 1 fps, quick burp.

  • @SoniGary

    that will the stone age soon when the netbooks have GPU's as good as them

  • Can't wait to play crysis on this card!

  • that supports windows aero?

  • atleast its slightly better then the intel crap. buy a 6200 it is a little faster if your looking for a cheap card. but i would buy something allot newer then either.

  • This guy scared me at the beginning at the video O_O

  • Damn, how naive I was quite a few years ago when I thought this was going to be a good card for playing games. It at least was able to play Half-LIfe 2 on high settings at the time, though, but not on DirectX 9 mode like they advertised. Bleh.

  • wow, it can run 2 monitors

  • another trash card plz buy the xfx radeon hd4650 thats a lot better than this

  • @TheSchnitzelkiller

    dude if you are buying a Radeon card HIS or Sapphire is the way to go. XFX is better for nVidia cards.

  • That's shit gpu never been "the top card", i guess mx 4000 is better than this trash. BTW.. I have this shit :s

  • @agbuk2007

    Lmao it probably is, the geforce 4 mx is just a glorified geforce 2

  • heh heh heh i have this card with a dual horizontal display hook up its a 128mb AGP instead of an PCI-E but it works...

  • i still have an intel extreme graphics 2 :(((

  • nooo, juzt need get a hd 2600 or a hd 3850 or a hd 4650

  • Oh my.

    I'm sorry.

  • Ok listen dumbshits I researched this card and it says right on the box that i can play Call Of Duty 4: modern warfare. and it supporsts dirextX 9.0 pixelshader 2.0 and vertexshader 2.0 but for some wierd thing is is that my ressalution on it says its a res. or 2560 by 1600 so i guess they worked on mine a little more then all of your guyses bullshit ones hahahaha and they say it came out in 2007 - 2009 so i guess mine is a little more upgraded then your guyses huh

  • HOLY CRAP! It can run TWO monitors???!!

  • i have the worst graphics card ever

    ATI Radeon Xpress 200

    128 mb graphics ram

    sucks ass

  • @luthiviandude I had that one too. It is so crappy. So much bullshit all in one chip. Now I upgraded to a hd 3650... SOOO much faster!

  • lol i call it a stale potatoe chip XD

    thats how useful it is :S i upgraded to a Connect 3D Radeon X850XT Platinum card from Tigerdirect. its teh best so far (4 Me)

  • These are cheap.

    Overclock it... or overvolt too.

    Supposedly you can reach up to 1 ghz core, with it completely crashing and burning around 2 ghz.

  • Though it supported DirectX 9, it has way lower performance than cards like the GeForce Ti4200. Ok if you're were on an extreme budget, but the FX5600 was somewhat better. But the whole GeForceFX series wasn't that good all together.

  • Woo!

    I got this 5 years ago, ahh good ol' FX 5200. :)

  • I remember when I got this 5-6 years ago

    I was so excited 'cos I could play call of duty 1 on high settings XD. The good old times.

  • FX 5200 came out like 2003 they're entry level and not meant for much gaming

  • lol why he is tryinng to sell that in 2007? omg that card worked good in 2003-2004

  • can i install 1GB Club3D HD4670 PCI-Exp into my fx5200 1/8 gb vram slot???

  • LOL WTF. Why are they advertising this in a 2007 video and saying it's so good. It was outdated in 2007.

  • This was posted on TD's website a long time before they put it on Youtube. And yes, back then it was one of the best and cheapest low end cards.

  • He's talking about DirectX 10. This video isn't that old.

  • Wow, are you serious?

  • no really??

  • THIS CARD IS NOT PCI-E

    RETARD.

  • thats because you bought the PCI-E verison dumbshit

  • im getting this card in the mail but its a pci one!!!!

  • I had this card From a AGP slot Motherboard from my 1st computer in year 2003.

    It did the job well then, I've played games like Warcraft3 and Counter strike it went very well. But for games like Halflife 2 Year 2004+ game, It freezes and my computer locks up. this card was then useless right there... not sure about PCI though..Also why is this card being advertised in a released 2007 video? It's like advertising the old Sidekick 2 now. Lol

  • geforce fx was released in 2005

  • no it's released in 2003, I've just checked on a website on it's reviewing date. People dont get this if your going for gaming.

  • my old gaming rig had one, replaced it wih a radeon 9600

  • thats because some ppl have older pcs..

  • r u serious????wat kinda fuckin question is that.

  • Umm noo...

    You have to buy it from a shop or online retailer and install it yourself. You download the drivers for the card to make it worjk yourself, I dunno if you were getting them mixed up or what but that was a silly question. XD

  • you can update the graphics driver at the computers website flashlight1996

  • I have a GTS 250 1GB (9800GTX+).

    And I love it!!!

  • god you're so fucking lucky i got a Connect 3D Radeon X850XT Platinum card

  • is this ddr1?

  • The speed of ddr on a graphics card has nothing to do with compatibility. If the slot on the bottom of the card fits your motherboard it will work.

  • indeed

  • Yah.

  • MY PC IS NEW AND HAS NO PCI SLOTS.

    0_o

  • so what mine is new and it haz 1

  • im not surprised.

    but i have none.

  • lmao

  • Im stuck with this and an S3 Graphics ProSavage DDR :(

  • this card = Beast.

    I play far cry 2 maxed out with this, you jealous?

  • thats near impossible, its got a rating of 2/10 for games, thats what 5,200 means.
