Can you belive this? I had to go out and buy another 128mb video card for my computer even though I had one. I had a MSI 5200 128mb card in but I found out that it was making my graphics run very slow in my games. I went out and bought an ATI Radean 9200 128mb card and it works a whole lot better. It goes to show you, never buy MSI products. The only thing I hate to say is, I have a MSI motherboard. I hope that does not fuck up. Right now it seems to be running good and fast.

Maybe, I don't know. All I know is that I finnally got a good one that works. 
I was tired of seeing my gamming graphics move is slow mode...lol.

Did you just read what I told Jung, I said that I fix the problem by getting a better card. It works a lot better, it is not because of my memory. Otherwise, the card I just bought would not even work. Jeeztzedek said:
How is that if I'm going from a MSI 5200 128mb 8x to an ATI Radean 9200 128mb 8x downgrading. Answer that one for me and give a good expanation?tzedek said:that doesnt make any sense, seeing as how you basically downgraded your video card. Unless you went from a 4x to 8x or something i dont see how that would fix anything.
Sure it does; RAM and vRAM/Video card both play a part in rendering 3d graphics well. If you're lacking in either, you'll see performance degradation. If you're lacking in both, upgrading only one won't make a noticeable difference.tzedek said:that doesnt make any sense, seeing as how you basically downgraded your video card.

That 9200 is a better card than the 5200 though. I don't see why you think she downgraded.
I don't see where it was low in budget. It is a lot better than what most people have and that is 64mb and so on. The one I just bought requires 64mb of system memory, but for graphics to actually work it says it needs 128mb of system memory. I have 256mb, there for yes it does work. It makes my games play a lot smoother than with the other 5200 one that would make my games load slowly and make my graphics play very slow. With this card, I can see a huge difference. It loads faster, plays faster, and the graphics look a lot better.
Can't you ever stay on topic and stop crying like a baby over spelling?
I highly doubt that I would have ever stuck to that 5200. Like I said, the 9200 works a hell of a lot better and does not slow my games down unlike the 5200.tzedek said:
It is a low budget card. It's many tiers under cutting edge, or even average, for gaming.Cuddles said:
Hmm, I could be wrong about that card; I'm by no means a video card guru. I've always heard, and read, that it was better than the 5200 though. In all fairness though, that's only one review.tzedek said:
Who cares though, if it works for her.
Hey, I am not saying to stop using a 5200 over 9200, but what would you want to play with. One that slows your games down or one that speeds them up and you can actually play them with no problem? That is why I choose the 9200. I mean with the 5200 I was sitting for like 3 minutes for the game to load and all it would do is skip. With the 9200 It look less than a minute to load with no skips.
Nope, I am giving that sucker to my boyfriend, he only has a 64mb card. It only costed me $70. The 9200 though coasted me $100 and some change. Sorry I can't sell it to you though.
