Nvidia geforce fx 5200 g56/18/2023 Now that I have Albatron’s Gigi FX5200P graphics card in hand, it’s time to take stock of what kind of sacrifices were made to squeeze the “cinematic computing” experience into just 45 million transistors. Or maybe I’m just turning into a grumpy old man. Maybe it was merely the fact that I didn’t believe NVIDIA could pull off a budget graphics chip with a full DirectX 9 feature set without making cutting corners somewhere. Perhaps I still had a bitter taste in my mouth after the recycled DirectX 7 debacle that was the GeForce4 MX, or maybe it was NVIDIA’s unwillingness to discuss the internal structure of its graphics chips. The chips, which would go on to power NVIDIA’s GeForce FX 56 lines, respectively, promised full DirectX 9 features and compatibility to the masses. W HEN NVIDIA announced its NV31 and NV34 graphics chips, I have to admit I was a skeptic.
