Video card reccomendation by MeEtc on 07-06-2007 at 04:02 PM
I have someone offering me a good deal on a new graphics card, to upgrade my on board video. The card in question is a ati radeon 9250SE, 128 MB
anyone have any experiences with this particular card?

Kinda old isn't it? That card costs about €30 in the store.

I used to have this card. Could just about play grand theth auto with it. :/ And its only Direct X 8.

Firstly, forget that card lol.
Secondly, what's your current system? It's no use buying a 350$ card if it's going to bottleneck with the CPU / RAM.. 
RE: Video card reccomendation by MeEtc on 07-06-2007 at 05:25 PM
the deal is, I'm trading a 512 DDR2 stick for it
my current specs are only 1.66GHz Athlon XP and 256Mb 2700 system RAM. I really doubt that the bottleneck will occur with the vid card...

Full support for DirectX ® 8.1 programmable pixel and vertex shaders in hardware
By the way, it's still a deal if you trade a 512MB DDR2 module for it.
