spacedinvader Posted August 22, 2005 CID Share Posted August 22, 2005 Can it be done? Or a waste of time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted August 22, 2005 CID Share Posted August 22, 2005 Waste of time.. it wasnt really intended to be a "gaming" card. it was was released to compete with the MX4000 series from Nvidia.. I would invest if you have the money and are looking into upgrading.. a 9600XT or even a highend Nvidia.. like the 6600 6600 selection: http://www2.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?sourceid=Mozilla-search&Submit=Go&DEPA=0&description=6600&category=0&Go.x=0&Go.y=0 9600XT: http://www2.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?sourceid=Mozilla-search&Submit=Go&DEPA=0&description=9600XT&category=0&Go.x=0&Go.y=0 Make sure you are getting the right graphic card.. My guess is that the 9250 you have is AGP.. but it could be pci.. not sure didnt looking into it.. so make sure you get the right one.. not PCI-E!! that will not work!

spacedinvader Posted August 23, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'm getting a 9800 aiw soon I just wanted to play with this one maybe learn something. Because if i fry it F@#$ it. ITS not a huge lose. its an abit card with radeon chip set and is very functional for the price FREE. i can run everything in 1280 by 1024 no problems.But knowing me when i have parts laying around i lose all rash thoughts of money or backup or for what ever I generally tend to void a few warrenties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted August 24, 2005 CID Share Posted August 24, 2005 but if you are intested in learning how the over clocking process works.. it is a good card to start with.. you are going to have to get active cooling and memory heatsinks.. other than that is should be pretty stable..

spacedinvader Posted August 24, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 24, 2005 Any suggestions on some litterateur on duo's and dont's. I really don't want to destroy it I actually have an old 1.8 P4 that i accurate and was told it has been overclocked with a new in the box MSI Freebie and 9250. Just need some fans, RAM and Hdrive. I can get some other parts for a spare Wireless i have, I think i will keep it in good shape but I do want overclock the card just because i want to learn somthing about it.

Swimmer Posted August 25, 2005 CID Share Posted August 25, 2005 http://www.overclock.net/archive/index.php/t-112.html take a look at that.. download the correct program.. and then you can get started.. take a look at some reviews for your card and see what other were able to get and keep it stable..

Swimmer Posted August 25, 2005 CID Share Posted August 25, 2005 I do not know of anything on the market that can currently do that... maybe in the future there will be something but is is like trying to put a square into a circle.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted August 25, 2005 CID Share Posted August 25, 2005 agp to pci express adapter yes.. http://www.albatron.com.tw/english/it/vga/atop_page.asp i guess this is brand new.. what I have read about it is that you are going to take a serious performance hit.. due to the conversion from agp to pcie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacedinvader Posted August 25, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 25, 2005 yea i saw that was looking at that same site, all the sites i found are like that but i need the other way.
