ATI radeon 9250 Video card

[Johnathon]

Hello,
I just purchased this video card ATI Radeon 9250.
Problem is it appears the software (Driver disk) is not compatible with my os (7-64bit) I went to the manufactures web site in hopes that id find a driver i could download and manually install. *Fail* Apparently they do not have or support 64 bit for this video card. Is there a workaround for this problem? I really hate the thought i just wasted nearly a $100 dollars for a paperweight

Wow you paid $100 for a 9250. Wow.

I didn't even pay that when I bought it, back...like...when Counter Strike Source first came out...!!!

Apparently my PCI Radeon 9250 is now for sale, if anyone wants it. Shoot me a price. =)

*edit* oh and to answer your question tough luck on finding anything like a 64-bit driver for an old card like that! I have no clue where to begin other than (possibly?) Omega Drivers

im sorry but who/what/why and most importantly where did you purchase a graphics card that is completely outdated. Who was the deceiver :\

AMD/ATI ended support for that card back in November of 2006, I believe. Take the card back to where you purchased it and get your money back.

The Radeon 9250 is a Directx 8.1 video card, therefore it does not even meet the minimum requirements for Windows 7 which requires a DirectX 9 video card.

Sometimes it is just not worth it to upgrade an old system.

Very good answer. 9250 is a very old card.

I just found this on the Microsoft web site, may be of interest to anyone who has a card with this chipset.
