This a good Video Card.

YaDeadNinja · 07-11-2005, 03:13 AM

Alright, i'm wondering if this is a decent video card for gaming. Its a Diamond Stealth Radeon 9550 128MB AGP Graphics Card. Yeah, I have a pretty crappy video card right now, so I was looking at this one. I didn't want anything expensive at all. So yeah, I looked up on some websites and came to this.
DX-9
SM-2.0
Clock-250MHz
Trans-75M
Proc-0.13u
PP-4x1
Vertex-125M
Bandwith-6.4GB

Maximum 2D Resolution(At 32-Bit Colour)-2048x1536
Maximum 3D Resolution(At 32-Bit Colour)-2048x1536
Number of Polygons Per Second-162.5 Million Triangles
S-Video Output-Yes
TV Out-Yes
Video Compression-Yes
Video Memory-128MB DDR

Alright, I know its not like EXCELLENT video card here, but would it be decent for gaming onmline and such. Watching Videos, everything?
Thanx in advance.

Peace

I'd recommend a 9600Pro/XT, or if your willing to spend a little more, Nvidia 6600/GT.

definitely 6600gt. Or if cannot afford, get a nvidia card still. ATI's lack SM3.0

The 9550 isn't very fast, but the question is what games your into?
