GeForce FX 5200 vs GeForce FX 5500 (both 64 bit and 128 bit) Test In 13 Games (Capture Card)

[@RetroGamingKingdom]

GeForce FX 5200 was released on March 6th, 2003
with launch price around 69.99$ (128 bit was probably more expensive)
Official memory clock for FX 5200 is: 200/400 MHZ
but most of them were clocked to 165/331 (even good ones with
128 bit bus and 256 MB VRAM!)
So this benchmark could also be FX 5200 LE vs FX 5500 - 64 bit and 128 bit
GeForce FX 5500 was released on March 17th, 2004
with launch price 36.99$
(But it also depended on VRAM size and memory bus)

Any chance you make a video with these same cards but with frequency matched. (as in they all have the same gpu and memory clock)
I know its a lot of work to do all these test so maybe just do aquamark standard test to see the scaling in points when all frequenies are same.

@@alphadog6970 This would be NV34 vs NV34B benchmark and that sounds very interesting. But only cards with exactly the same memory timing should be used in that case. Right now I have to include the FX 5200 with 200/400 MHz mem to my benchmarks so I'll see. Maybe in the future.

Interesting, like!

This 64-bit FX 5500 shouldn't even exist in the first place, Nvidia only stated a 128-bit bus in the specs. Though the naming is bad even for the 128-bit version, because the 5200 Ultra was better in every regard.

You need more support. Nice video for retro fan's.

Thanks TH-cam for the awesome channel recommendation.

I had the best fx5200 I think. Im not sure. It was a fx5200 with 250mhz and (I think) 400mhz for the ram. It was 128 bit and 256mb. You could change the bios to one for the fx5500. I did it and it was a fx5500

Hmm, why is FX5200 128 bit with 330mhz memory clock. It should have been 400 as on FX5500.
