is the fx 5200 good for overclocking since it has a heatsink and a fan?

i regret buying my fx5200. listen to cowboy, get ati. About your question, i overclocked my card to 297/459 (stock at 250/400) and only gets 1200 on 3dmark2003.

1)I just bought a fx 5200 128 mb and overclocked at 265/432. Havent tried to see if i could go higher yet. 2.) I'm getting great frame rates on UT2003 at the highest world physics level.
3) I got a score of 7002 on 3dmark 2001se. 4. My motherboard is limited to 4X and the card goes up to 8X, so im not even getting the full effect. 5) Wait all of nvidias new driver are geared for FX engine, so G4 card owners will not see the future greater driver improvements as FX owners, 6, The guy who scored a 1000 what processor are using a pentium1, non ddr?

Read all rreviews with a grain of salt not all information is supplied to you from other reader (i.e. what kind of machine they have, type of mempory, motherboards that can handle 8X, and that all drivers from nvidia are going to be optimized for th eFX series. Clint

I agree too. Geforce FX 5200 is a great new replcement budget low-end card. We do know that FX5200 sucks in gaming (from the review). However, it is still a good card offer latest technlogy and especially they provide support DX9 that previous MX do not have. I still waiting for the latest driver (5X.XX) for all FX card.
