I am wondering if there are any update drivers out?? I get the blurred textures and I went to look for drivers but the newest Nvidia driver (53.xxx) does not support 5200s. Anyone know anything about this?

I have the same card and the newest driver 53.04 and it works fine ???
Did you look at the Nvida site? It will give you a list of compatable drivers and the 53.04 is one of them.

Is yours the Verto? I read the read for the 54.04 but did not see the 5200 supported.

I have a FX5200 as well and I'm running 60.72 drivers. Try going to www.guru3d.com. You can download them there. They're official but they haven't been certified by Microsoft yet so that's why they're not on nVidia's website.
The Forceware 60.72 drivers are the best ones yet.

Yes it is.
The newest the Nivida site has is the Forceware 56.72.
What confuses me is what is "Forceware"?
It isn't listed as a "graphic driver" so is it a driver for the video card or the software that runs it???

Forceware is nVidia's new name for it's drivers. They used to call them Detonator but they changed the name when the 40 series came out.
