Its the same thing as the 5200 were back then. Atleast a 6600GT will last a little longer.

That is what I think atleast.

You gotta realise that the original poster is in a BUDGET and just wants to upgrade from he's old 5200. So as Dabhand said, the 6200 would be fine, i recon a 5900 would be fine too.

Yes Luciel and I consider the 6600GT to be budget. For me that is as budget as I would ever go. The 6200 I consider being waste of money and therefore thinks he can keep his 5200 until he can afford 6600GT and up.

hmm, well what prices are we talking about? as far as i know you can get a 5950 on ebay for less than 50 dollars

[kosmiq]

well it is sure not as cheap as any 6200 or 59x0 card, it will cost about 150-170$ brand new. Used ones is far cheaper of course.

Just got done doing some research....found a 6200 for about $75 and a 6600 for like $125

I think you'd get more perfomance out of a 5950 than a 6200 since the 5950 was top of the range and the 6200 is the crappies of the new range.

For some reason 5900's always seem to be out of stock, when im trying to get them into my shop..


Tried a Gigabyte 6200 I had in the shop with a few games, works very well.
