3D to my knowledge is not available on any modern cards.... couple few users have a 9250 in their X1000. They use some adapter that allows it to work. I myself am not worried much about 3D at this point and one day it will come. I am though adding a 2nd video card to my X1000 soon. It will use the stock Radeon HD 4650 and now a new R9 270 since the new Radeon driver supports it. I am gambling that one day Warp3D that A-Eon appears to be working on will support one of the two cards I have. If not, will buy a new card as needed. But today I think the R9 270 offers the most bang for the buck for Radeon 2.4 X1000 users. Can't wait for my 4.1FE to arrive so I can get both cards in the X1000. TJ
