Buyer Reviews :
The Geforce FX 5200 is intended to replace the old Geforce4MX 440, and it does succeed there. It does usually perform somewhat better than the old GF4MX (And over time the GF4MX will look even slower in comparison with games like Doom 3 on the horizon), and it also supports directx 9, whereas the GF4MX only supports directx 7.
The problem here is just that in most cases it simply isn't all that much faster than the GF4MX, and in some cases is a bit slower. You can get a Geforce4 Ti4200 for little more money, which will quite drastically outperform the FX 5200 across the board, even in future games such as Doom 3.
The card itself isn't that bad, if you don't play many games and just want something in your computer that will run games in a year or two, this will work, however, while it might run the games, you will have to stick with lower resolutions and no aniti-aliasing, resulting in lower image quality.
So, in conclusion - avoid this video card if you are an avid gamer, but if you just need something to replace whatever happened to come with your computer and aren't terribly concerned about performance, the Geforce FX 5200 would be an adequate solution, if on the pricey side.
