In need of a budget card? Check out this head to head comparison of the offerings from nVidia and ATI.

The FX5200 (new core, but crippled) supports vertex and pixel shader versions 2.0+ like its elders, the 5600 and 5900, while the R9200 (old core, but upgraded, but not much) only supports vertex shader 1.1 and pixel shader 1.4. Since both cards cost about the same, once again, the FX5200 is the better video card, from a value perspective.
