640x480 800x600 1024x768
| BENCHMARK SETTINGS Four.dm68 Benchmark32Bit Colour Depth Texture Compress Disabled Lightmap Lighting High Geometric Detail Full Texture Detail Trilinear Texture Filtering COMMENT - "This 2x fsaa test starts to show the real power of the XFX GeForce 5200, it manages to stay ahead of the Gainward GeForce4 MX 440 by between 14 and 30fps. Once again the high resolution performance of the XFX GeForce 5200 is superior to the Gainward GeForce4 MX 440." |

The XFX GeForce 5200 at 1024x768 performs better than the Gainward GeForce4 MX 440 at 800x600 which is impressive." |

| BENCHMARK SETTINGS Four.dm68 Benchmark32Bit Colour Depth Texture Compress Disabled Lightmap Lighting High Geometric Detail Full Texture Detail Trilinear Texture Filtering COMMENT - "We decided to add anisotropic filtering into the mix to see what would happen. Although the XFX GeForce 5200 can do 2x, 4x and 8x anisotropic filtering the Gainward GeForce MX 440 can only do 2x which is what we have used here. This is pretty much the same result as seen in the 4x fsaa test above, this time each video card takes a slightly larger performance hit due to using anisotropic." |
