Geforce3 to Radeon 9250?

[MeatLoaf]

Dads got a GF3 Ti500 64Mb GFX card and hes just started playing COD2. Too be honest on low details it runs ok but he wants to up the detail a bit so i thought a cheap 9250 mite be a bit better? He wont spend more than £35 so its a choice of a Radeon 9250 128Mb or a FX5200 128MB.

Which will be best for him? He has an XP 2400+ cpu and 512Mb RAM.

Well he went out and got a 9250. Seems a little better on COD in DX9 mode but he only scores 3915 on 3dm01, im sure the GF3 used to get almost 5000.

i had a geforce 4 mx420 and i played cod2, but it was pretty much unplayable with 30 fps most of the time. U sure hes running cod2 on dx9!?!? coz i would have thought his fps would be below 30 with that card and dx9

On the GF3 he played in DX7 mode, and DX9 on the 9250

Ah well, he seems happy enuf with the 9250 and even better hes given me the GF3... which ive promptly stuck on MM
