from looking at the list your "thing" would be better off with the fx5200 i have heard good things about this card and it wont let u down i myself have the 5600 and i think the fx range is the best yet from nvidia
AMD athlon XP2800+ @2.34ghz
Epox 8RDA3G 400 fsb, 8x AGP
1024MB DDR400 PC3200
XFX 256MB FX5950 Ultra (oc 525/1.04)

I'd second that quite happily! :)

I'm more than happy with my FX5600, worth the extra IMHO.

Ati cards (the 9000 series) tend to out perform their Nvidia competitors, however, stability of Ati's drivers seems to be a very much hit and miss affair......

I'm more than convinced I made the right choice with my card, something my friend with a constantly crashing Ati machine seems to agree with!

You pays yer money, you takes yer choice ultimately. ;)

I personally use a Ti4600, and I'm delighted with the performance I get in both FS2k2 and CFS3.

Get better performance with a TI 4200. Get one with 64 megs of RAM and overclock it straight to hell. :p Get a good 200 mhz overclock out of it. You'll get performance way past the FX 5200 (it actually performs similar to a GF4 MX440, I have evidence).

The 8500 and the FX5200 will be close, try them both and see the comparitive FPS.

The 8500 performs well past the MX 440, Chi - San.

ti 4200 or FX5200 - I'd go for a high end FX5200, they will better a ti4200 with added support for DX9 - The MX440.... Based on very slow GF2 technology - no way upto or past any 8500 / FX5200 ;)

On the same machine, an fx5200 scored 7000 3D marks and a TI4200 scored 12000 3D marks    ::)  :o  ;)
