Graphic card query for sam460
« on: December 07, 2011, 05:17:29 PM »
Hi all, I have a Sam460 (lite from amigakit) with a radeon hd4650 installed.
Rather than wait who knows how long for composting and 3d support for the card I am thinking of getting a 9250 card.

Will it just be as simple as replacing one with the other as I believe the hd4650 is in a pci express port?

As you have a PCI slot on your motherboard, you'll have to get a 9250 PCI card (the 9250 does not come in a PCIe variant).

Get the 9000pro, faster and better than the 9250.

If you can't find one the 9200 is faster than the 9250.

Ok, thanks.

 I have just read that a download called wazp3d will let me run 3d through hardware rendering. Anyone used this?

I was considering mentioning this, but the difference wasn't that great (an 8500 would be even better, but I don't know if there are PCI versions or if OS4 supports it).

I am thinking of getting a 460ex.... Is there a PCI-E videocard I could get that would work with the current release of OS4.1, including compositing and 3D stuff?

If you go for a 9250 be carefull are they exist in different flavor.
this model is anyway a cheap (less powerfull) 9200 but be sure to get one at 128-bits otherwise it will crawl !
I made this mistake by taking any pci 9250 card and my one is 64-bits, much slower than my previous 7500 but now I have a 9000 pro and very happy with it (on A1G4).
