I currently have two graphics cards, one from my current computer and one from a previous computer and I'm curious which one of them you all thought was better.
ATI Radeon 9200 or nVidia GeForce FX 5200

I think the major difference is that the GeForce supports DirectX 9 while the Radeon only supports DirectX 8.0. They are both pretty slow though.
Even better, benchmark it yourself and find out.

The 5200 will run the game fine. (albeit slow at times in Jeuno)

I'm not talking about FFXI, I'm being General about it. But sure I'll run the benchmarks tests and we'll see.

And be sure to rate up people who help! Or we get all twisted and don't visit this forum much XD.
This is my first look back here in months 
I still check in regularly, but usually things are already answered.
I'd check back more often, but we could probably put together a standard list of blowfin's replies with links and that would solve maybe 80% of the problems that are seen on this board
Run the benchmarks on both cards.
First up the Radeon 9200.
