Which is better for playing older games:
SAPPHIRE grafična kartica RADEON X1050, 256MB DDR2, AGP, DVI, VGA, TV-Out

GIGABYTE grafična kartica GF FX5200, 128MB DDR, AGP, 64BIT, TV OUT, DVI

GIGABYTE grafična kartica GeForce 6200, 256MB GDDR2, AGP, DVI, TV-Out
 
A 9600XT would probably be better than any of those.

You might also be able to score a 6600gt for very little, which would be eleventy billion times better.
 
Define "older". We talking Genesis/SNES and earlier ROMs or what? If so, it's a wash. Once you get in to any kind of 3D there are cards that can likely be had for the same cash that'll do a hell of a lot better. A Radeon 9550 or 9600, a 9700, a 9800, all can be had dirt cheap second hand. Hell, a Voodoo 3 3500 might do better than some of those cards assuming the game is old enough. Gotta love Glide.
 
6200 by a mile, but I hope you're not thinking of purchasing one of those three. As others have said, you can get a lot more for the same cash.
 
By older I mean games that would play on a ATHLON 1700+, 512MB DDR.
Currently this computer has a GEFORCE 2 MX440. Which totaly crap
 
CYLONE
The MOBO supports AGP 8x. And the PC is not mine I am just upgradin the GPU for a friend.
Thx for the link to the GPU but it does no good from since I am from Slovenia, Europe. Will try to look up some used GPUs here.

btw. When buying a used GPU card what is the best way to be certain that it is good and that it will not die in a week or so.
