324760 2005-02-14 00:15:00 Not that much really, the FX5500 has a 30mhz faster core than the FX5200, both have the same pixel pipelines, memory speed and bus. SolMiester (139)
324761 2005-02-14 00:16:00 most likly.

the only reason you would use a PCI video card is when you don't have an AGP or PCIe slot.

324762 2005-02-14 00:27:00 it depends very much on the rest of your system specs, but assuming no other bottlenecks, the FX5500 AGP should be noticeably, while not hugely, faster due to a slightly higher core lock & AGPs greater bandwidth over PCI. inphinity (7274)
324763 2005-02-14 00:38:00 I dont think they make PCI cards anymore, least not this model. I believe he is refering to a PCIx card over the AGP one, of which there would be little noticable difference SolMiester (139)
324764 2005-02-14 01:03:00 a quick google shows they do make a PCI version

"eVGA GeForce FX 5200 / 128MB DDR / PCI / DVI / TV Out / Video Card"

324765 2005-02-14 03:27:00 I don't believe there is a PCI-Express FX5200, but there is a standard PCI version. inphinity (7274)
