will ati radeon 9250 work for battlefield 2?

Question

battlefield supports 8500 and 9500 or higher so if it supports 8500, would it support 9250 becasue it's higher than 8500. is it?

Answer 1

Wow. Some stupid answers there. The 9250 is a extremely low-end video card. 1/4 the power of the very old 8500 (renamed 9100). the number scheme of ati is not actually in order of slow to fastest, it's more random.

It runs about the speed of the extinct mx4000.

You can see in the above charts, it's really a crappy card compared to other (now old ) video cards. It's around the speed of the Radeon x1300 (or slower).

This is a chart to use to get a video card. You want 30fps for the game or better.

Answer 2

It really depends on what version of the 9250 you are using.

There were a couple versions of the 9250 that were slower than the 8500 cards.

Your best bet would be to just try it if you already have the game. If you don't have the game, save your money for upgrading the video card.

Besides, even if it did work, you are looking at almost unplayable framerates even with the resolution turned down with no eye candy.

Answer 3

yea it will support it easily radeon 9250 is ok and it will support med rez no problem but you wont be able to get into hi rez.

im using a geforce fx 5200 and it runs b2. gefore fx 5200 is significantly worse than 8500 or 9250

Answer 4

ATI 9250 AGP will work w/ BF2 but the PCI version would be too SLOW.

Answer 5

it might, but i doubt it since my 9800 pro gives me 22 FPS.

its on ALL LOW settings too.

unless you're down with playing at 10 FPS, get a new video card.
