Geforce FX 5200 Pants On SPLINTER CELL ,HELP! | Forums

[XyZspineZyX]

I have bought a geforce fx5200 128mb ddr. It performs not so good on Splinter Cell, with all the lowest settings on it performs worse that an mx440 (64mb ddr)with medium-high settings.
My mobo only supports 4x AGP, so if i bought a mobo supporting 8x would i notice a difference or is it not worth it?

Please Help

Guess what? The FX 5200 is pretty much a GF4 MX with directx 9 support. Why do you think it was so cheap? Oh, and 8x doesn't make all that much difference, it's more of a marketing ploy.
