ATi Radeon 9250

AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+, MMX, 3DNow, ~1.49GHz


Even with this old set-up, my PC can run new games at medium or high quality at a good framerate.

Nothing is overclocked.

Does anyone else think this is weird?


Some of the games I run....

CoD, CoD2, B&W2, Sims 2, Morrowind, Halo, CSI 3 Dimesnsions......

The 9250 is kindof like the pickup truck of video cards it ain't pretty but it will handle most loads

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

just going to put this out there, you are running CoD2 is dx7. Even if you could run it in dx9 mode(your card doesnt support it) your system would choke and die on it. but glad you can play halo.

Yeah, I could run cod2 on my old 9000, as well as my 9200. Those other games you mentioned aren't that new. Anything requiring a higher pixel shader/HDR and such will put you in trouble.
