Is Radeon 9600 Pro too much?
I have an Asus A7V133 motherboard with 1GHz CPU and a 266MHz FSB 4X Pro/AGP . My graphics board won't run the newer DirectX 9.0 features even in a low setting and I'm wondering if a Sapphire or other Radeon 9600Pro 128MB is an overkill? More important, will it even work?
I have a 400 watt power supply, 512MB of 133 Dram, a Samsung 712N LCD monitor, and windows XP. Any advice would be appreciated. |

It's no overkill. That card should run fine. What do you mean by "won't run the newer DX9 features" ?
You do have DX9 installed, don't you ? RJ

I think he's trying to say his computer is too old/slow for DX9 to work.

i bought a regular 9600 radeon (albeit a 256 mb version) and it does absolutely phenomenaly on all games (even doom 3). i'm sure if i viewed my games through a microscope like most people that doe benchmarking it'd be subpar. but trust me. 9600 radeon is really all ya need.
