By the looks of it the FX (I had a quick look at a chart and the FX 2000-5000ish range faired way better than your current card.

They never name hardware so the avaerage Joe knows which is better or worse :\

That's true. Hate that really. Thankfully the GPU and CPU are really the only things like this in computer building and there are plenty of websites which benchmark the pieces on intensive games to give you an idea of how it will work.

Rule of thumb, if it runs Crysis, it runs anything.

put your current card and new one in google as XX VS YY card

That's not really accurate. Crysis is not that powerhouse of a game that you have to play with the best stuff around. You can run Crysis with average hardware. It just won't look pretty and when it gets busy it will be crap.

I probably should have clarified. Benchmark sites will be nice enough to tell you that the piece of hardware will have no problem running it on high, or very high at a smooth framerate. You're right, though, it's pretty scaleable, but on high settings I stand by my point. If you can run it smooth on high or very high, you shouldn't have a problem with anything out right now.

The 5200 is a fairly old card, (it ran Half-Life 2 on medium settings for me back in 2004) but I've never heard of the G100. If your current card can run any source engine game on DirectX 9, then you should stick with your current one (if you're unsure, I think it lists the DirectX version in video options in the menu).

The g100 is definitely better than the fx

that site is really useful for this sort of thing

The G100, if I'm not mistaken, is a very good card. I'm pretty sure that it's up there with the series 9 cards. 5200 is pretty bad and I know that for a fact. I'm running my computer on an 8500 and it will hardly run anything.
