remember the thread about the old 64mb, 64 bit fx5200 I had which the mx440 eats it? This time mines 128mb and 128 bits and its nearly as fast as a stock ti200 which arent bad at all! one problem however, it is still clock locked! man I hate it when they decide to lock it, so any idea what to do? I also know the radeon9500s were clock locked but some guy figured a bios hack fixed the lock. some radeon9000/9200 and 9700s were also locked. do I need to flash the bios or what?
Some guys just never lern...
Why do you need FX5200 anyway?
*** you go on about not wanting the card and it sucks big time but yet you go buy one? Your ****ed.
Hey, give the guy a break, alright?;) But really, if a card leaves a bad taste in my mouth, I wouldn't even think about getting it again, let alone ACTUALLY getting it. What up wit dat, T'bird?!!:confused:Quote:

bios flash needed..........
of the brain.
man, with the $$$ you throw at vid cards (i know, you resell them on ebay)...............
a better CPU can make all the difference for a pitance.
shame, but if anyone should be suffering this fate, let it be you.
dvader:D
ok guys, relax! the first fx5200 I got was 64mb and 64 bit, this one is 128mb and 128 bits, the 64 bit one got me 5100 marks, I get 8600 now, granted my cpu is faster and I have mipmap to performance, but point being is nature is over 40fps instead of 19 :eek: honestly this one is much better, I would get about 8800 on a stock ti200. I just need to find a way to unlock that fx5200 I got *cheap* and oc it good and ill try for 10k marks
I got that much on my radeon 8500...Quote:

thats sad, my ti200 gets 67fps and ive gotten 75fps on my ti500 :eek:
the fx5200 is slower, its a 4x1 core, remember? I still want to get like 55fps on her but does anyone know of a way to oc her?
sorry but I ask this question...why on earth would you buy a card that was slower than your previous cards?
its just a bit slower than a ti200 and trust me, for the special price I got that fx5200, I am happy. I also want to see what dx9 looks like, even if its slow. I collect cards as well and want the best score for each. now lets get serious, does anyone here ever got an fx5200 to overclock, was it locked or not and does anyone know where to get a bios flash to unlock my card? thank you so much :cool:
What brand was the old fx and the newer one with 128bit memory?
Or do all 128mb fx 5200's use 128bit ram?
Some 3dMark 2003 scores would be nice. U are posting 3d Mark 2001 marks I believe.
Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Hmm, after reading a lot aroudn i haven´t found anything ´bout the FX5200´s being clocklocked, BUT i have found out that they do not seem to support low lvl overclocking, in other words, the only way to do it is by using coolbits.... i know that it is not the kind of answer that you could expect, but i hope it helps you out man :)

bingo! my old fx5200 was inno3d I think, this one is evga. Are those the only cards that dont support low level overclocking? I heard of that somewhere, other people said they could not move the ocing sliders with powerstrip nor rivatuner. Yes ive heard of coolbits, people used that back in the tnt days but now everyone uses powerstrip or rivatuner. So anyone know how to hack my registry to enable coolbits, it involves changing some registry keys then the coolbit tab should appear somewhere in the drivers with sliders to oc core/ram :eek: if anyone has a clue and can help me out ill be thankful. I already will try that on my backup hdd that way if I mess it up I can do a reinstall and keep my main hdd reg intact. I installed the drivers too on my backup hdd just in case :D
Just goto www.guru3d.com and visit their downloads section. The Coolbits registry file is in there. Get it and import it into your registry.
