There are some games that do have unplayable graphics that's true (IMO Warcraft I is an example).
But it just bugs me that people don't actually play the game, they just watch people move on the screen.
Some people don't focus on the game, they focuses on how good the game looks, how fast they can run. They can't just shut up and play. I've been coping with lag for years now, can't they just shut up and deal with it?
My first pc I owned had an 8meg intergrated 1 or 2 speed agp Trident CiBlade 7 chipset :P. I could barley watch xvid compressed videos, so gaming other than C&C Tiberian Sun and others was out of the question. I still prefer smooth motion over stuttery motion on my games so most graphics (as my gfx card is shite) are set to lowest or medium. The card in mention is a Geforce 5200FX. My bog satandard Geforce 6600 owned compared to this card.
Exactly, unless you're super super picky. I bought mine for $25 and I don't know anything else on the market that does the same for equal price. If I'm right, FX5200 is around the same as a Radeon 9200 which does cost more as I have seen.
I'm seriously interested though, if I was to replace my FX 5200 (EG. It gets shot in an electrical storm) with something of about the same price, what would you all recommend?
Maybe not the same price range but I'd recomend a Geforce 7800GS either bog standard or one of the overclocked models. It's the last of the agp cards and has the N70 chipset so it is at least worth itfor that even though they only have 16pixel piplines:( why didn't Nvidia go out with a bang and give us 20.
Well, I haven't had problems with nVIDIA or ATI Cards. I've just heard better things about nVIDIA. And video at 30 fps is fine. That's standard stuff you see on TV.
Um. It depends on what your measuring. Like a vdeo, a video game, your desktop? In some cases its not possible to get a 'true' result because the results would be lower from extra cpu cycles needed to perform the actual calculations.
Well, I don't see the point to measuring the FPS of my desktop as it is static (I not wanting to experiment with DreamScene). Maybe "Pirates!", since that's about the most intensive thing I do on here.

Isn't that a movie?

No I don't, or at least not with that explanation.
However, in defense of such people (In moderation), that is how you get minor things, easter eggs, hidden clues, etc.

Yeah I guess the easter eggs and stuff sometimes plays a part...

Or you could just buy another FX5200.
And Q, my GeForce 7300LE was under $60 and gets great performance.

And you *can* tell the difference anyway.

PAL is 25.
And it *is* horrible, it looks jerky and slow.
Anyway, I'm not partial to one video card company. If people recommend a different companies card, I'm willing to give it a legitimate consideration.
