HEXUS.net has posted an ASUS V9520/TD GeForce FX 5200 review



The problem, if you can call it that, lies with the NV34 GPU. Comparative (and that's the key word) performance looks poor with other GPUs that hover around the £100 mark, so much so that running at 1024x768, with no image enhancement, can be problematic with new titles that make full use of DX9's feature set. This point is exemplified by the v9520/TD's performance in AquaMark3.

If, however, you're content with running at lower resolutions and using in-game settings at, say, medium levels, the FX 5200 isn't a bad choice. We'd still opt for either a GeForce FX 5200 Ultra (325/650 clocks) or, with a little larger budget, a cheaper FX 5700 / Radeon 9600 XT derivative.
