5200 is crap !!! get Ti4200

the only adv DX9.0 but who need that ... you need at least a 5600 (ultra) to get 4200 niveau

The Ti42000 will beat the 5200 in pretty much everything, but what is your current card? It might be a better option to wait until christmas when all the new cards are out (Radeon XTs and GFFXs) and pick up a cheap 9500/9600 or GFfx 5600/5700 so you at least have dx9 support ready for doom3/halflife2 ect. (not to mention a faster card.)

An advantage of the 5200 would be full DirectX 9 support, where the the other doesn't.

I would just say "when changing the video card once get a pretty good one with some more cash added to it". That's what I would do.
