I meant PCI

lafta, it seems there may have been some confusion. I looked the card up on google real quick and the first few entries said it didn't have dx9. Well, I was just at CompUSA where they had 2 Radeon 9250 cards. One was a 128mb agp, dx8. the other was 256, pci, dx9.

if it's the second one i may want it (it's not for me so I have to wait and see)

According to this:
http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=303&card2=305
the 9250 does not support dx9. It shouldn't matter what the interface is, PCI/AGP/PCI-E, if the GPU is the same it should have the same features.

I'm surprised they're still making PCI cards with even newer GPU's, but they are. Take a gander at this Radeon X1550 dual DVI PCI card:

I'm sure it's not worth it, but I'm impressed.

HIS cards are the fucking heat - I dunno how much so in a pci slot, but in general, they are really good.
