Advices and comments
Summary
AMD started FireStream 9250 sales 16 June 2008. This is TeraScale architecture desktop card based on 55 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at office use. 1 GB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1.99 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 63.55 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. 1x 6-pin power connector is required, and power consumption is at 150 Watt.
It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 4.54 percent of a leader's which is AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT.
