You downgraded, the Ti4800 is a faster card.

umm no? then how come the fx5200 has a higher number? 5200>4800 lol. go back and do 1st grade math

the fx5200 scores 600 more 3dmark points because 5200-4800 = 600. that means the fx5200 is better. it also has faster circuit boards with special material the best buy guy said to me. he also said something about dx9.

but i kno that i didnt downgrade, now tell me good drivers so i can get the performance i should be getting out of it.

LOL, sorry but this is a little funny... It's called MARKETING... Compare the specs, the 5200 might have a couple more features, but overall, it's the same or WORSE tha nthe 4800...

Next time dont listen to salesmen.

i fell for that one... i went from a 4400ti and went for the 5200... i overclocked it to make up for the deficit though... a harsh lesson but one worth learning.... always look for reviews of the hardware you intend to buy

grapejuice · 03-07-2006, 10:05 PM

umm agp 8x on fx5200 4x on ti4800.

fx5200 is faster.

Hairy_Lee · 03-07-2006, 10:07 PM

the interface makes no difference... run a 5200 at agp 4x.... what do ya know... still the same

No. its not

They are fairly slow cards, they probley dont dont even come close to using all the bandwith of 4x, let alone 8x

Ahhh, what a funny thread, anyways... If you overclock the 5200 to the 4800 speeds, then you have almost the same performance.
