is the ati radeon hd 4200 graphics card good for modern games such as crysis warhead and fear 2?

i was planning on buying the ati radeon hd 5750 graphics card, how much better is that graphics card than th 4200

you get what you pay for, the cheaper the card is the more it sucks. aim for around $160 for a mid-end card like 4890 if you wanna play games.

ya its good enough to play crysis warhead and fear 2.but spending another 100 bucks to get the 5750 is more worth it.

There's no comparision between a cheap built-in video chipset like the 4200 and a midrange gaming card. The 5750 is easily 5X better. However if you're wanting to play Crysis Warhead I suggest skipping the 5750, it's too close in price to the 5770.The Radeon 5750 costs around $140 on average, but it's slightly slower than the GTS 250. The Radeon 4770 and 4850 run almost as fast as the 5750, but cost about $100. Those other cards don't support DX11 but currently that's no big deal.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150369http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814134094http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161317Meanwhile you can find the 5770 starting at $150... Just $10 more? That's the best midrange value for tough games like Crysis:Warhead.

You are compairing onboard graphics with full functional GPU.HD 5750 is much much faster here.skip the HD 5750 and go with HD 5770.that will be good enough to handle the games you listed above.go with this one.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102858&cm_re=HD_5770-_-14-102-858-_-ProductThis will be a nice deal and better than HD 5750 in every aspect.
