B Blind_Arrow Fully Optimized Messages 1,909 Location Manchester, UK Dec 10, 2004 #4 5200 is old chipset as in its era, ATi came with 9200 Raedon. still many people preferred 9500 radeon over buying 9200. as they resurrected the 9500 into 9550 and thats even after the 9600XT era, it makes 9550 faster and more advanced than 5200.

OP OP K Kadahaf Daemon Poster Messages 577 Dec 10, 2004 #5 Is the ATI power hungry like Nvidia is known for?
B Blind_Arrow Fully Optimized Messages 1,909 Location Manchester, UK Dec 10, 2004 #6 well not at least these 9550 and 5200 they dont require the external power supplies as in case of Raedon 9800 / X800 and nVidia's 59XX and 6 series. though u can say that nVidia is power hungry, as ATi draws almost same amount of power like nVidia do.
