Can Someone Tell Me What The Difference Is In Nvidai New FX Cards

The reason I ask is because I see them everywhere but don't know about them. I have noticed some of the FX cards are real cheap. Are they sapose to be better than the GF4Ti? I have a GF4Ti4600 just curious to know what the disadvantages and advantages of this new card is.

I'm happy wth my ti4600 I also didn't know they had a ti4800 I thought the ti4600 was their best before the FX came out.

Thanks

Avoid the FX 5200 and 5200 Ultra. The only ones that are better than the GF4TI series are the FX 5600, 5800 and Nividia's top of the line card 5900. Also the FX series supports DirectX 9.0.

No DirectX 8.1. But all cards are compatible with 9.0.

The FX 5200 supports dx 9.0, however, most reviewers say that it won;t be fast enough to run games that use 9.0
