The Radeon 9250 PCI was a graphics card by ATI, launched on March 1st, 2004. Built on the 150 nm process, and based on the RV280 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 8.1. Since Radeon 9250 PCI does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The RV280 graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 98 mm² and 36 million transistors. It features 4 pixel shaders and 1 vertex shader 4 texture mapping units, and 4 ROPs. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support). ATI has paired 128 MB DDR memory with the Radeon 9250 PCI, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 240 MHz, memory is running at 200 MHz. Being a single-slot card, the ATI Radeon 9250 PCI does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is not exactly known. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video. Radeon 9250 PCI is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI interface.
