Radeon 9250 Driver issue

hoax32 · Dec 2, 2010

Hi TPU!!!
I finally got my 9250 and it works!
But i have some problems with the drivers:
I tried all drivers, that I could finde, but all have problems:
-D Mark 2001 cant finde a 3D accelator
-the title text of each window is not readable
-Some drivers tell me while the installation "Video driver not found"

Any one know this problem?
By the way, The video card has a jumper, that switches between PAL & CRT (i think).

Please help me!!! :cry:

I dont want to use my radeon 7000 again!!!! :cry:

hoax32 · Dec 3, 2010

Me again!
I checked the jumper andit says:
PAL or NTSC
Its on PAL right now.
What can I do?
I appreciate any kind of help!

PAL and NTSC only control the S-video output. you should know what TV in your area uses.

as for the drivers not installing: try installing the right ones.

3dmark 2001: it wont work without drivers installed. that should be obvious.

You're sure you've tried these drivers?

That actually helped!!!
Thanks I got IT!!!!!!

When I bought it on ebay, the seller told me that its a ASUS Radeon,
but in real it was the verry first card SAPHIRRE ever made.
The Saphire Readon 9250 128MB V/D/VO
I downloaded the drivers from the saphirre page and voila!
Working alot better than the ones from ati/amd/asus homepage!!!
I always thought, that the manufacturer doesnt mather, but semms i was wrong! :banghead:

Thanks u two!!!

Weird, seems like Sapphire have more recent drivers listed. Good thing it helped.

Why?

When I bought my first Pentium II in 7th grade (2007) for $30 I was proude of it!
It did all the basics and even let me watch youtube with its 16MB Matrox Millenium!

My friend with their 9600GTs made fun of me and told me to buy a "REAL" computer.
Well since then, I went step by step higher:
from my PII to a Celeron 300 to a Celeron 500 to a PIII, to a Athlon to a Athlon XP to a Celeron 2000 and EVENTUALLY to my current P4 2.53GHz!
Playing GTA-SA, ET, MaxPayne2, COD2 NO PROBs!!!! :rockout:

Im proud of my baby! :cry:

Even 720p videos no problems!!!
Blue Rays lag sometimes, but its viewable!
Thats why!
I dont play MW2 or GTA4 / Black ops.
I may uprade to my next P4 3.06GHz in like 2 months.
And to a radeon 9800pro in like 6months!
Thats my way of gaming! :toast:

With its 1GHz PIII and 4MB ATI Rage M i can still use it for :eek:

xBruce88x · Dec 3, 2010

those little ati rage chips were pretty good... they had hardware mpeg2 decoding

I did a school project on a laptop with teh same chip, but a MUCH slower cpu PII 450... I had a WWII project and did it on planes of the era. Loaded microsoft combat flight simulator 2 and hooked up a joystick. Needless to say I got an A

Have you tried Omegedrivers?

slap a 60mm fan on the heatsink of that 9250 and it should help out a lot.
