im asking because im wanting to upgrade my graphics card because in built up areas such as egll it stutters...or can anyone suggest any good graphics cards for me

Both those cards suck,it's old old technology and you won't see any improvement over the FX5200,
it would even get worse,I imagine.
I'd go and see if you can get a Nvidia GTX series card or better
or a Radeon 4xxx.

But don't forget the NVIDIA anti-alising problem. It still exists for years. Doesn't happen always but you don't know when it hits. If you fly commonly in VATSIM, having the SB3 windows inside your FS2004, you may have had some flights lost due to that.

I have flown on VATSIM for years,using a GF4200 card and now a GF6600 but I have never lost a flight due
to that problem.
