I'm currently in the process of putting together a new machine and have been buying parts for it as I see them come on sale. About 4 weeks ago I picked up a Saphire Radeon 9200 128MB AGP card on sale. Its a nice card with some pretty good reviews. Then today I was online and found a really nice/inexpensive full system setup, that although it isn't exactly what I'm looking for is still nice. This system comes with the XFX GeForce FX 5200 256MB AGP card. I hadn't ever heard anything about the GF FX card before and I don't see many reviews out there on it. Anyone have any good info about either of the cards? odds are I'll end up buying the system, using hte better of the 2 video cards and selling off the rest....

Thanks guys :-)

Here some benchies for the FX 5200 ultra.

The GF 5200 is faster than the ATI 9200 (but slower than a GF4 4200).

from what msi told me on their tour bus last week the 5200ultra is a bit better than a ti4200 in which it replaces.
the ultra cards are much better performers, the 5200 non ultra is more like the mx series
