Graphics card for fs 2004
Man, I hope that's a typo, FX-5200 is the sequel to the MX series of
GF4MX cards. It is cheap, but you'll only get what you pay for in this case.
DirectX 9 compatibility with 5200 cards is only there if one really likes
slide shows. Getting a used GF4 Ti would be a far better bang for alittle
more buck if DX9 compatibility isn't required, and I do believe that in the
case of FS2004 it isn't. Radeon 9200 (don't get the SE version!) will beat
FX5200 hands down while the prices are similar, plus it is DX9 compatible.
Then again GF4 Ti is way better than R9200...

Depends on your budget. If you're trying to get improved performance,
consider getting an nVidia FX-5200 (try to find one with 256mb video RAM)
AND increasing your memory from 512mb to 1gb (or more). The 5200 will do
a very good job, but you'll really get the performance improvement from
the additional memory. IMO, 512 isn't quite enough when additional
resolution is desired.
