Any good PCI video cards out there?

for ultra-low budget, there's the FX5200 PCI edition... can't get much out of it.. saw a review of it.. got only about 600+ 3Dmarks in 3Dmark03..

Hey! I'm not defending it! I'm just suggesting to him that the R9550 is better than FX5500.. besides.. he looks like he wants a DX9-compatible card.. And how long are you going to defend the Ti4200 huh??!?

if you really want a FX5500.. why don't get a Radeon 9550.. they're in the same line except that R9550 does perform better in most cases with FX5500.. That card is around US$75+..

Go for Radeon 9550 for Low Budget?

I'm not really saying that R9550 are good.. I just want comments of experienced user on it... Plus.. I was going to get a FX5200 before I made my decision with R9550 since they priced around the same locally... If you compare R9550 to FX5200, R9550 will definately proves better than FX5200..

Yes.. I do mean about the Radeon 9550 chipset... So you owned a R9000 Pro card? Interesting to know.. They are not on sale in my country though.. I would be interested in the 3Dmark2001SE test results if you don't mind..

for that money (US$ 75), I can only get a FX5200 64-bit version.. how is that supposed to fare off with a R9550 while its performance (the R9550) is definately much better than FX5200?!

Erm.. your're mentioning on the FX5200 or R9550 (on the US$ 75 issue)? For R9550 it's around USD$87 in my country and a FX5200 with full features cost around the same too... plus.. the Sapphire 9550 128-bit 128MB that I have is capable of multi-monitors... (CRT+DVI+S-Video).. I can't get any...
