Radeon 9200

Are Radeon 9200's with 128 MB any good?

Yeh, It's a good graphic card I'm planning on getting one too.

Depends what you're getting it for. If for gaming, hell no as the card was originally designed as a business, no-nonsense card ... a couple tweaks here and there gave it gaming potential. If you're into gaming, get a GF4Ti or a midrange GFX/Rad card

I have a Radeon 9200 64MB PCI and it's a really good GFX card.

Good for what though? Certainly you dont mean high end gaming

 

[ZER0X]

Ah yer sort of because that's all I could get because I had scummy integrated GFX. It can play FARCRY smooth, and battlefield vietnam, and other games im not really worried about GFX. ALL I NEED NOW IS RAM, I want to be able to play Starwars Knights of the old Republic but I need more RAM because when theres nothing around it's smooth, and when it's a big open space and theres heaps of objects around... it's jerky EEK!!

Ah ok kewl ... that's kinda odd that you can play FarCry well but not KOTOR .... maybe it is the memory-count ... how much have you got?

 

[ZER0X]

I have 248mb Downclocked From PC2700 to PC2100

 

[Praetor]

248? now with a dedicated video card shouldnt you have 256?

 

[ZER0X]

I can't uninstall the integrated GFX all I can do is Disable the device, coz when I uninstall it, it automatically reinstalls. Thats probably why It's not 256

You'll have to disable it in BIOS Then when you boot up you'll not load the device and/or allocate memory for it

 

[ZER0X]

Ah i'll have to check that out

 

[ZER0X]

I have really bad BIOS you can only change what comes up either PCI or onboard and PCI already chosen, thats all you can do.
