I really need some help. I currently have an XFX GeForce FX5200. I am getting an EVGA 7200GS for free with a $50 mir. Do you think it's worth it to go for this card, or should I let it go?
BTW, I am a gamer, but not a fierce gamer. I'll play a few games here and there and I was looking to upgrade my card for a while. I have read reviews saying this card is bad for gaming, but do you guys think it's much of an upgrade if I get this card, or is it a waste of my time?
Thank you very much for your help! |

Hi there, Welcome to TIMO. 
It's a bit of a upgrade, as it would support SM3.0. But as far as overall performance, it's really not much of an upgrade.
So it could go either way really. I myself would probably do it, just to jump to a newer card that would have better support.

Again, your not really gonna see that much, if any performance gain. But the support for the newer games is there.
Glad I could help. |
