Geforce FX card Series

I have recently been looking and many of the new top brand graphics cards, and one which I found quite confusing was the price of the new geforce fx series.
The price of the 5800 is over £300 (dx9 brilliant graphics good framerate)
The price of the 5200 is £100 (very similar graphicly only slower framerate)
Now the gefore Ti4600 is still incredibly more expensive than the 5200, but from what I have read in reviews the 5200 is better graphicly. Surely the 5200 should be around the £200 mark. Or is the Ti4600 still a very good card relitive to the FX series.

I have bought this one here .http://www.asus.com/products/vga/v8170m/overview.htm
It's awesome . It's quite cheap only $65 . It's incredible for games and Modeling (3D max and stuff) .It even boosts your machine performace.
Don't buy a card more than $90 these days . You're ganna be attracted by better release the next day .;)

Luck ...

That card is quite pants. GF2 Ti-level speed, GF3 totally blows it away. Radeon 9000 Pro is much better.... But that's just all the low-priced market.

If you're looking high-end, best card out (or coming out, can't remember), is Radeon 9800 Pro (not 9700!). 9700 Pro actually matched the FX quite well, and 9800 blows it out of the water if I'm not mistaken. I think the FX 5200 is kindof like the FX MX (but not such a stupid name ;)).

Which one . mine ?:rolleyes: .:confused:

I agree with Sastraxi...

The FX range has had numerous bad reports... and really shouldn't be considered until the have rectified ALL of them.

ATI on the other-hand, have now released the 9800PRO & PROII, with ATI's quality and unbeatable frame rate... it's really the only thing I'de even consider!

The Ti4600 128mb DDR is still a GR8 card, but lacks DX9 capabilities in comparison with the 5800FX & 9800PRO's.

If you can't afford a 9800PRO, the 9700 still kicks Ti4600's without any hesitation.

i agree...nVidia really missed the boat on the GFFX series. the high end gets owned by the 9700s and 9800s, and the low end gets owned by non other htan nVIDIAs own GF4 series, which in turn gets owned by the 9500Pro.

And then there are reports of a 9600Pro o/c to about 560/740DDR. :eek:
