    I had one of these, passively cooled, red board. I loved the thing. I ran Win XP back then and played so many games with this little thing, including Far Cry and Republic Commando, which I couldn't believe worked on such a low profile card. Like someone else said here, it was the card of my childhood.

    This was actually my very first GPU back in the day. I believe around the year 2000/2001.
    After that I got the 9800 pro. Then the X800. Then switch to nvidia Geforce 9800, Back to Radeon HD4870 X2.
    Finally a Nvidia 980ti which I'm using now. Planning to go upgrade to 3080 this year.

    Very interesting video. Never knew there was a 9250 SE around. The 9200 SE was the very first video card i bought brand new for my then brand new P4 2.6Ghz machine. Used that machine right up till the end of 2006 when i got a brand new core2duo machine built. I also have many old Dell laptops with Radeon Mobility GPU solutions in them. The Radeon 9000 mobility in my Latitude D600 overclocks like a champion compared to the card in your video. The Radeon X300 mobility also overclocks very well and performs nice in old titles.

    Fun video as always Phil.
    I have a friend that bought one of these back in ~2003 to upgrade from his MX 440 and play Morrowind. Well, turns out it probably was a downgrade, but he was probably already way too CPU limited, not to mention had few RAM to notice, but at least he got Pixel Shader water which made him happy :D.
    You should do a follow up video with a vanilla 9200 or 9250 to show just how much of a hit this card takes when using a 64bit bus or perhaps even bring the 8500/9100 to the table and show how much performance the 9000/9200/9250 cards lose in comparison to the 8500/9100.

    I have one of these in the form of integrated graphics on my AM3 motherboard: ASRock 880GM-LE and it utilized 256MB of DDR3 system RAM. It was actually pretty decent for various multimedia related tasks especially for older games. I still have the board paired with an AMD Athlon II X4 and it's the heart of my parents' PC and it runs Windows 10 flawlessly

    You're right about this card finding you instead of finding it. My buddy gave me a few of his Pentium 4 retro machines which I took out the parts to put into modern cases with modern power supplies and one of them had a Radeon 9200 SE card in it. It runs a lot of games pretty nicely. It's a good card for sure.

    I've got a 9200SE, but with 64 mb, from my older brothers old system. Paired it with a Pentium 3 and a Voodoo 2. I had lots of fun with it and tweaking many games to get some extra fps out of it (i even got Doom 3, Gothic 3, UT2004 and CoD2 to run somewhat playable after hours of tweaking).

  • @GhostSpa
    @GhostSpa 6 лет назад +6

    I used to have a 9250 128Mb in a Pentium 3 667Mhz with 512Mb of RAM.
    Surprisingly, I managed to run UT2004 at a playable framerate with that rig.
    I wish i didn't give that rig to a friend when I upgraded to a Core Duo. It could have made for a pretty good retro gaming rig.

  • @OnionChoppingNinja

    I once salvaged one of these from my brother-in-law's junker Packard-Bell, as a replacement for the Geforce 2 MX in my dad's old hand me down Pentium 4 way back in 2009. Itself an emergency replacement for a busted FX 5200 back in 2005. Wasn't much to write home about for 2009 standards but the 128mb were a welcome improvement over the 32mb of the MX to haul me over until I had the funds to build myself a propper PC late in 2010.

    Interesting. I got a bunch of 9250 back in the day. I loved those cards. They were dirt cheap and performed well enough for me to play games up to 2006. Half life 2 ran decently on it which was awesome.
    The 2 variants I still have lying around are the A9250 128M from ASUS and the RX9250 128M from MSI. Fun fact, that MSI variant uses modern BGA Hynix RAM chips and I wonder if that changes anything.

    9200SE was my first dedicated graphics card, nice find. I remember playing NFS:Underground 1/2 on it with almost all ( available ) settings enabled. And if I recall correctly, it could be overclocked a bit as well.

  • @PixelPipes
    @PixelPipes 6 лет назад +19

    Interestingly the R200-based cards DO support multi-sampling AA, but it's still extremely slow and only functions in Direct3D games. Still it was quite advanced as it used a programmable sampling pattern which I'm not sure was ever attempted thereafter.

    • @philscomputerlab
      @philscomputerlab  6 лет назад +2

      Would that be the performance AA setting? I totally overlooked that slider and didn't test it.

  • @BasedCrusades
    @BasedCrusades 6 лет назад

    I had this card. The last game I tried to run on it was TESIV: Oblivion. Obviously, that was just for fun. There were no textures! Everything was white, and you could barely make out the scenery by looking for a seam between the walls and floors. NFS Underground 2 Dub Edition work pretty well on this card, except for the fact that I had to deal with 2 FPS on the drifting only courses. F.E.A.R worked quite well on medium settings. I was happy with this card because it was the first time I'd ever seen water reflections in Morrowind!
    The rest of the time I used this card for rendering images in Anim8er. It was quite an impressive 3D animation program. It took a while to learn though. This card got me through 4 years of an online 3D high school in Active Worlds (similar to Second Life).

    The time when AF actually decreased performance noticably.
    About that AA: I wonder how it scales against resolution in general. Does doubling the resolution result in less than half the performance as with the AA?

    I had the normal version of this card in my pc back in 2003. it was my first ever GPU. it could play anything at 1024 x 768 medium settings or higher. when far cry came out, i played it on low or medium 1024 x 768, or high at 800 x 600. I was using a crt monitor that had a native resolution of 1280 x 1024. CRTs made any resolution look good.

    • @philscomputerlab

    Will this card work well in DOS? I'm building a machine which I want to run fairly well with non demanding games up until about 2005, more importantly for me, works backwards in Win 98 and back to DOS. If not, then what would be a good, readily available and relatively cheap retro card which covers DOS, Win 98 and basic, non demanding Win XP? Preferably AGP

    • @philscomputerlab
      @philscomputerlab  6 лет назад

      It should work fine for DOS, though I've never used it extensively and tested a lot of games. But look, it's really cheap, so give it a go and see if it works for you!

    @PaulTheFox1988 6 лет назад

    Yet another great video, it's actually surprising how good the perf is for such a low end card, obviously it was woefully underpowered for the cost at launch, but still, with how cheap they are, if you're on a tight budget it's not the worst thing you can buy.
    On a slightly different note, I have an interesting experiment that I want to try, maybe you can help me Phil with finding info on it.
    I've got a PowerMac G5 ATi 9600 64MB AGP that I'd like to get working on a PC, but obviously it won't do anything without modification, and I was wondering if you had any resource detailing the steps and potential pitfalls of doing so, if it is even possible.
    I know that at a minimum I need to tape off pins 3 and 11 to make the card appear as AGP4x , and I need to flash a pc vbios to the card, but I am unsure if the card will successfully take a pc vbios, or if I'll even be able to back up the current vbios in the first place, or if there are hardware mods that are also required and obviously I don't want to screw up a perfectly working card if I can help it. :)
    I know you can make a PC card work in a mac, but I want to see if it's possible to go the other way just as an experiment.

    I have a Powercolor 9250 128MB with 128 bit interface running with an AXP 2000+ in my Win98 rig on a MSI via KM266 board. Its fast enough for everything upto DX8 and before. I also like the fact that it is passive and doesn't make racket. I have faster AGP cards but the passive cooler is a big deal for me. It even overclocks to 275 core / 250 mem. Not bad for 9$ shipped. I'd love a comparison video of the 64 bit and the 128 bit variants of this card.

      I saw some cheap 9000 AIW cards on eBay, but brace yourself, they have some propriety signal output, and of course, the cable isn't included! @#$@X#$

      That's weird. Is it like that dual DVI thing? My 9200 AiW just has VGA, DVI and I think either S-Video or composite. Came in an old Dimension. Not too in the market to grab any more graphics cards ATM, need to hoard some cases and such first to put computers in xD

    Oh damn, I was going through my box of old computer parts for my early 2000s Win98 build and this is the exact model of one of the video cards I got.
    I think I'm gonna try GeForce 6200 first, it's one of the last video cards to support Win98 after all, so it will probably outperform a typical 2001 gaming build. This will be my other option.

    This cheap card did really well. I guess the cpu still did most of the work at this point. Had one in an old pre buld back in the day, ran ffxi, wow, farcry, half life 2 and doom 3 decently, couldnt say that about low end cards trying to run graphic intensive games today.

    I had a 256MB Radeon 9200 with 128 bit memory bus. Would be interesting to compare it to the 9200SE, I guess antialias performance would be higher.

    Hey do anyone know if a better chipset existed in old amd boards (since socket A/462 durons to athlons) than those via or sis chipsets? I can only seem to find them.
    But at least in the c2d age those same brands were really bad in performance and even in features and compatibility, and the intels were much better.

    I bought this when the FX 5200 in my childhood desktop died (or so i thought the fan was just seized) oddly when I tried installing the windows 98 drivers for this it still complains about drivers and wont let me go above 640x480 but the FX 5200 is fine, excpet the first time I installed the drivers for the it the windows 98 screen was slightly glitched and it was blasting static at max volume, one restart later and its fine weirdly enough

    I had a 9250SE with 256 MB that I got when my parents bought our Pentium 4 HT, back in early 2005. Not a bad card for basic stuff like Web browsing or watching movies, but when I started playing games, we've upgrade to a Sapphire X1550.
    It's a shame that last year I trashed my 9250SE, but the VRAM started to fail... Oh well...

    • @scott9269
      @scott9269 2 года назад

      I "upgraded" from the 9250 to a variant of the X1550. This should be a crime but mine came with 32-bit memory and somehow ran slower in the games I played. I tossed that so fast.

    My first graphic card. The computer consisted of kind of an Athlon CPU, 512mb Ram, 80G Samsung Hard drive. I played Call of duty 1 and 2, Rome Total War, GTA Vice City, Mafia 1, Neverwinter nights, Max Payne 2, Half Life 2, Age Of Empire 2, Starcraft, Diablo 2, Warcraft Frozen Throne.. Still I can remember What I played, and I have that feelings. That time I was a young explorer. It was a great time.

    While i didn't have this card i do have a 9550 I've mentioned before from gigabyte which does identify itself as a 9600 board oddly enough (guessing my dad or our neighbour flashed it at some point hoping too get some extra performance.)
    it did work quite well for overclocking the 9550 64 bit 256 mb, even managed too run the Fear 1 benchmark with 60+ fps at 800x600 with a mixed amount of settings in my windows xp machine with 1 gb ram and a pentium 4 2.8 ghz ht cpu, does go too 3 ghz this pentium 4.
    Currently that pc has a ati hd 2400 pro 256 mb in it due too a bit newer architechture & being slightly faster as well.

    • @3dfxvoodoocards6
      @3dfxvoodoocards6 6 лет назад

      Marcus60661 the 9550 series has the same GPU as the 9600 series thats why it was identified as 9600. The 9550 was one of the best budget cards ever, it could be overclocked from 250 / 400 mhz to 450 / 450 mhz.. the performance improved by 50-60%.

    • @philscomputerlab
      @philscomputerlab  6 лет назад +2

      The 9550 has been mentioned a few times, guess I'll have to look into it :D

    • @HappyBeezerStudios
      @HappyBeezerStudios 6 лет назад

      The 9500 Pro was still the faster cards and some could even be unlocked to 9700 Pros.
      The 9600 and 9550 were a tad slower.

    • @HappyBeezerStudios
      @HappyBeezerStudios 6 лет назад

      Somebody understand their naming scheme.
      9500 > 9550/9600
      9200 Pro > 9100 > 9200 > 9000 Pro > 9250 > 9200 SE
      HD 4770 > HD 4830
      HD 8470 > HD 8490
      Same goes with Nvidia:
      4600 > 4800 SE
      7200 GS > 7300 SE
      GT 220 > GT 320
      GT 730 > GT 720 > GT 730
      It goes completely against the common sense that a card with a bigger number is slower than one with a smaller number from the same series.

  • @stevef6392
    @stevef6392 6 лет назад +1

    Man does that memory interface make a difference! I have the PCI version of the 9250, but it has a 128-bit bus. Despite the PCI interface and the much slower processors that I used (a PIII-S @ 1575 and a P4 2.4A), it scored a little over 6000 in 3DMark01 on both machines.

    • @philscomputerlab
      @philscomputerlab  6 лет назад

      With 3DMark the driver version can also matter greatly. But yea, half the memory bandwidth is a huge loss.

    • @stevef6392
      @stevef6392 6 лет назад

      I used 5.6 on the two machines I tested. Not sure how much faster or slower that is than 6.11, but your A64 4000+ has got to be at least twice as fast as the CPUs I used. :-)

    • @J14M88
      @J14M88 6 лет назад

      I have 9100 (AGP) with 128-bit bus. With Athlon XP 2600+ and Catalyst 5.12 it scores 8669 in 3DMark01. As a comparison, with same hardware GF4 MX440 scored 5768 and 9600XT with Catalyst 6.12 scored 11118. With P4 2.4 all cards got similar scores, in range of +-100 points. Same thing between Catalyst 5.12, 6.12 and their Omega variants, not much differences there. 9600XT with Athlon64 3400+ scored 13143. With 4xAA 9600XT is roughly three times faster than 9100. On the other hand, 9100 and Athlon XP manage to push average of 97fps in IOQuake3 with OpenGL1 renderer at 1680x1050 so it's pretty competitive without AA even with 9600XT. In 3DMark03, UT2k3 and newer titles it's a different story though and 9600XT is much faster there.

    I have all of the carts you listed at the start (Geforce 4 MX, Geforce FX5200 and the Radeon 9200) and the only one I really wanted is the FX5200 because I needed a cheap low power PCI card capable of running most windows 98 games. And I have a Radeon 7000 which seems to be a really bad card.

      Well it came out around the same time of Radeon 9700, 9800, so much faster CPUs than 1 GHz Pentium III were standard. So yea, if you played games from that era on a Pentium III, the CPU would hold everything back.
