does PNY GeForce FX 5200 PCI Graphics Card support multi transform and lighting?


does PNY GeForce FX 5200 PCI Graphics Card support multi transform and lighting?

Yes, transform and lighting be introduced in DirectX 7, the FX 5200 is DirectX 9.0b.
Yes it supports multiple T&L. The FX 5200 be a low-end card, so it's not very quickly, even compared to other cards from 4-5 years ago...



If all you stipulation is to handle regular business apps and vintage games approaching Starcraft, it should be ok. For modern 3D games like Half-Life 2, Doom 3 etc- forget it.
It can knob T&L, but it can't really run any games. The fastest PCI card is a Radeon 1300, but even it is slow (unplayable) in abundant games now. www.tomshardware.com for benchmarks on them.

I would suggest AGP or PCI-E (newer) video card. Hopefully your motherboard might support one of those (check the specs).
