BFG Technologies - GeForce FX 5600 256MB AGP Graphics Card

Any opinions on this card. I see it at best buy for 149. Does this card compare to a TI4200 or Radeon 9600?

I've also been looking at that card BFG is good brand but the 5600 isn't that good 9600 is better. I've read that the fx series doesn't perform to good with the new dx9 games that are coming out.

The 9900 ati card is going to come out soon and will probaly drive down prices of the other cards.

Tom's Hardware has a review of the card. It's quiet, but the slower memory speeds results in benchmark scores lower than other brand FX5600s, even with the extra 128MB of memory. Take a look at the charts to see how it compares to the Ti4200 and 9600. Hope this helps.

ATI is a better choice than any NVidia based card at this time.

In my opinion its a great card but i agree with morriswindgate that buying an ATI card is more worth it.

As the tests have shown, the FX cards are lousy when it comes to DX9. I'd advise ditching the FX 5600 in favor of Radeon 9600 or 9700 (or 9800 if you want to spend the money).
