WIKInerds is the forum for pages like this. WIKI is not here for databasing benchmark scores, manuals, and data sheets. Please take your content where it is welcomed, and appropiate to the WIKI posting guidelines.

As a matter of fact about the 9250, it was the last and a very minor re-spin of the 8500 core. If someone desperately wants to write a full history of the development and market impact of the 8500 core in the graphics card market, that would be a reasonable article.

The 9250 is just a footnote at the very end of the life cycle of 8500 core, and hence does not merit a page of its own for that reason. Having a page for each stepping / revision of every electronics product manufactured, is not reasonable or desirable for the general WIKI. It would just become a technical database, little used, little read.

Well, against the obvious case, the moderator failed to delete. WIKi is not a database for spec sheets, and product parts, so I've had to do what I said, move it, and re-write it. The article contined several basic factual errors, such as stating the 9250 was based on the 9200, when really it derived from the old 8500 core. The difference being minimal. Also, the card supported directx 8.1, NOT 8.0, as the article claimed. Personally, I think the WIKI is going soft. Dissapointing to see such obviously inaccurate and flawed articles pass VFD, without even being marked as 'tidy up' by admins. Timharwoodx 16:04, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Before anyone objects, I thought I'd add a link to the GeForce4 pages - the most directly comparable product to the 8500 series. Similar features, similar time period. You will note that rather than each and every spin of the core having its own page, all the revisions of the core are covered on a single page.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athlon

If we look at the AMD Athlon, you will again see all the core revisions are covered on a single page. My point is this is not Tim being awkward, I am simply pointing out all other sections of the WIKi group core revisions onto a single page. It is agreed practise to merge common content onto a single page. Timharwoodx 16:31, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Radeon

[edit]

It seems to me that this article is a duplicate of a subsection of the Radeon page. Wouldn't it make sense to just merge the two and re-direct? -Harmil 03:25, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The 9250

[edit]

I'm not sure why, but this article fails to mention the 256MB variants of the 9250. I'm using a Tul Corp. Radeon 9250, AGP version, and it has a 128-bit interface and 256MB of DDR memory. Was this particular model just forgotten? 72.161.75.138 03:17, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, that'd be me. Forgot to sign in ^^; T1g4h 03:20, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure they will list only the main variants. There are so many subvariants available and it's not possible to list them all. These variations usually have less or more clockspeed, ram speed or amount of ram. --Denniss 04:17, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fastest open source Linux drivers

[edit]

It's been many years since the r200 Linux drivers were the fastest open source drivers. These days there are open source r300/r500 drivers and modern Intel GPUs (which have open source drivers) are faster too...
