Sapphire ATI Radeon 9250

[~NeonFire372~]

I got this a week or more ago, but I haven't been on CF much lately (been busy with midterms, still are, been busy with website, been busy with other stuff) so I decided to post on it today. It has DVI, VGA and some sort of TV Out thing.

128MB version costed about $100 Canadian, yeah I know 128MB isn't all that great but I wanted a basic card that didn't cost too much money (I'm not interested in spending loads on my computer) and that could Windows Vista (although I'm not purchasing it yet) and ease a bit off my old onboard video.

i have that card in PCI, but no DVI port and it has 256mb

its a rly good card for pci

That card is not fully vista compatable

In what way?

It will have problems with performance in Vista. It's like the FX5200

I think you need at least 256mb of onboard RAM to use aero. Not positive though.

 

[borat_sagdiyev]

aero needs 64mb lol

but from experience, the 9250 doesnt have directx 9/10 and it doesnt work with vista. trust me, ive tried.

the 9250 sucks, no offense.

get on www.pricewatch.com and look for a better video card for under $100 if you can, you will find better deals.

You mean... doesn't work with all of the Aero stuff or doesn't work with Vista?
