Nvidia GeForce FX5200

The Nvidia Geforce FX5200 is no good.It just doesn't cut it for a computer now.I bought it two years ago for a build I was doing.It seemed to have decent specs, so I went for it.

This was no absolute mother-of-all-rigs build.It was just a computer for some light gaming.It ran fine for a while, but then, overnight, the card was obselete.It can play some current games, provided every graphical setting is on low, which will achieve a nausea inducing 15 frames per second.It has spotty DirectX9 support, so not all games will even function.

I have never seen a card become absolutely useless so soon after purchase.Especially now that there are far better cards out there, take a pass on the FX5200.
