I am in the market for a cheaper video card. I was looking in Best Buy today for some ideas and found an eVGA Geforce FX5200 128 mb card for $80 bucks after rebate. Is that a good choice for playing games like Sims 2, Thief 3, Splinter Cell, Neverwinter Nights, Farcray, KoToR, Generals, RCT 3, Doom 3 (on low settings). (and maybe Half Life 2....but not until it drops in price in late 2005 if not later)
Obviously graphics aren't important to me but I would like to play this generations games even if it is on the lowest setting possible.
My current specs are:
P 4 1.6
256 DDR Ram (planning to update this to 512)
Geforce 2 MX 400 64MB
Windows XP
Here is a link to the video card I was looking at in Best Buy:
