Technonoid Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I'd like to know if I'd see a big difference in the performance of the two cards. Mainly like playing UT2k4. Thoughts please ? And any other suggestions are welcome.

Jet2k5 Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Hi?! I have to say that the probably best one would be the FX5700. Not only is the model higher but it sounds more new, I have just looked it up and this is the card that they use at my local LAN Party. So I have actually tested out and it performs like a charm. I think you should defenetly go with the FX5700 sys spec on your computer are good they should all run together very good. -Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbob Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 The 5700 cards have better pixel shader engines than the 5200 cards, and UT2KXXX loves pixel shaders, so take the step up. I know I wish I hadn't cheaped out on my video card for this system, I will probably end up breaking down and replacing it soon with a 5700LE.

Technonoid Posted July 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Ok, I'm leaning toward the 5700. Thanks for the replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
