Shots with an FX5200

[Mike Thurman]

Hey guys,

This is kind of a funny question, but could someone show me a screenshot of FS2004 with a GeForce FX5200 video card, i'm planning on buying one and i wanna see what i'm getting

BTW, does the FX5200 support the reflective water textures you find on simV ( they're 1.1 mb).




Thanks



Mike

Take a look at any of my shots. I use an FX5200. I don't use AA because of my relatively slow CPU so you'll see the "stairstep" in some of them.

Here are some I posted recently. Taken on the fly so what you see is what you get.

Mike, check out my thread in this forum from Monday entitled "Last Known Photo".

They were taken with an FX5200 128mb card and the Bill Lyons water textures installed.

If you get the 64mb card, or if your system is a little on the slow side, you may not get the same result, or if you do, you may get some stuttering, but this will give you a good idea.

The shot was taken with everything maxed out for maximum detail.

Well, here's my PC specs, can't say if it's slow or not, lol:


Intel Celeron Pentium 4   ,     850mhz       , 512mb SD RAM, GeForce MX/MX400 64 mb

[GeForce]

Intel Celeron Pentium 4 850mhz

[Scottler]

Beats me, GeForce.  lol

The card upgrade will help you a little, Mike, but your processor (if it's truly an 850 as you said) will still run a little slow.  In the RAM department, you're all set for now.  Hope this helps!

Agreed Jon, err Mike either its a Pentium or a Celeron, it can't be both...
I'd guess from its speed that its a Celeron, as virtually every P4 runs above 1GHz........
You system should be able to handle the card okay, which OS are you running?

A GF FX5200 isn't gonna make a lick of difference too what you have now for a screenshot!

And it's barely worth the upgrade effort. Your "Celeron" 850 can't keep up with it anyway. (It's not really a P4's backside now is it?)  

A shiny new P4 in the CPU slot could make a significant difference though! (if the mainboard will support any CPU currently on the market)

Mike if you look at my screenshot posts you will see what a FX5200 looks like. They are by "Dannyboy". It is a good graphics card for the cost. All of my posts are in Freeware Screenshots.  8)  ;D I suggest that you get a AGP slot card, the PCI slots do not seem to work as good.

[Scottler]

Assuming he has an AGP slot.  I run the 5200 PCI card and have had nothing but great luck with it.

sorry guys, i was getting it all screwed up, it's an Intel P4, lol, got a 'lil confused there, hehehe

[Delta_]

What is its MHz of the processor?
It is not possible to get 850MHz P4's.

Hi folks!

over here P4 2.8GHz P4, 1GB 3200, FX5900 128MB, WinXP... runs FS9 super, all graphics settings to highest and FPS at 25. But i have a friend with almost the same environment, but an FX5700 128MB... and there's the real difference, didnt believe first, but he sucks with the same settings (even 20fps). So we tried changing the card, he got my fx5900 for some days, and it was much better performance.

Hope that helps

Yes, I have a FX5200 and in FS2004 all display settings maxed out, with 8x AA and 4x ansitropic filtering  and I get very realistic water textures. See the following post  for some screenshots of my AFCAD 2 created Irken Airport using a FX5200 :
