Well, I'd give it a bit more than that, but not as nice as Next Gen for
example (Aside from some of the space work). Of course one thing to
consider is that at the time, B5's budget per episode was about half that
of Next Gen. I'd have to say that their graphics were more than half as
good.

The thing the series had over the current ST at the time was in the stories
and in the non-perfect people. ST took a lot of this for Deep Space 9 (but
with lawyers and such lurking about we won't say 'stole'). Bottom line is
that for the most part, I feel the graphics were sufficient to help the
stories move along, but were not quite as good as a different TV might make
them seem.
