Let me know how it goes. If you post back your specs, and benchmarks, I might update the first post to include your benchmarks for comparison. Actually, it might be kind of cool if we could get benchmarks compiled of multiple pci video cards(6200, x1300, fx5500, fx5200, fx5700le, 9200, 9250, etc) and have a "pci benchmark chart." I've never seen that done before. We'd have to standardize on a benchmark though, like 3dmark05 or Aquamark3 to do it.

I have aquamark. Lets do that. Ill benchmark with my 5500FX, my specs are in my sig. Anyone with a differant card besides the 6200 or X1300, or 5500FX, post back so we can get some stats together. Ill post benchmarks with non overclocked 5500FX and overclocked 5500FX. If you could do the same with your 6200 (If you feel its safe) that would be awesome.

It looks like the X1300 will be very succesful. It should trash the 9550, the 9200, and the 6200.

But it's a little expensive for a PCI card

im guessing that means that it doesn't lag (beyond the normal) and is playable? i'd like to be able to play CSS :P... though the LOW isn't too pleasing... it's still playable so.. eh...

whats it like on higher settings.. when does it become beyond playability?

Umm, it isnt really visually noticeable that you have it on low, because i am busy playig the game lol. It is pretty good on 800x600 medium across the board, except low on reflection and shadows. But dont get this card, it isnt good compared to an overclocked 6200, or the X1300.

X1300, good overclocker. I can now use AA, but i know my processor is holding it back, i need a Skt 478 P4.

521 Core/650 memory. Probably too high for the bus bandwith lol.

My aquamark3 fails for some reason after the "Massive Overdraw" test. DOsnt matter if its overclocked or not, its got to be compatibility between the prog, and my GFX card. What is another program we could use to compare? But performance before that blows away the 5500FX. I dont like 3mark0 or w/e btw, i get like 4 fps lol.

If you wanna run a 3dmark where you dont lag like hell, try running good ole' 3dmark2001! Most modern machines crank out about 25000 3dmarks or more from it so give it a shot and you will probably still get about 3000 or so.

I got 7014, with a Celeron D, so if you use a processor similar, we can compare them accurately.



This is on 521/648 Core/Mem

I havent OC'ed it yet to its full potential,im working on it
