ATI Radeon 9550 Graphics CardStrengths: Quiet, no fan needed, cheap, 256 MB! Weakness: None that I've found! I bought this card at the same time I upgraded my motherboard. I am running a 3.06 Pentium 4 HT CPU with 1024 MB of RAM. I must say, for the price, I am VERY impressed with this card. It runs smoothly on ANY game I've tested it on. Here is a list of games that ran flawlessly: 88% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

well worth the priceStrengths: quiet, cheap, no fan needed, well worth the money Weakness: gets heated fast A nice card - well worth the price. Works quietly and is clockable. Gets heated fast - but that has not been a big issue so far. Overall a high memory product which is not very expensive. 78% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful?

ATI Radeon 9550 Graphics CardStrengths: Good quality, good price. Weakness: Damn that's hot. :\ I must say that for the price ($130 at the time) this card has been through 2 systems. Once running behind an AMD32 3200, and now an AMD64 3200. For solo games it is WELL worth it. Online however, I have been having trouble getting my FPS high. My goal is always to try and stay around a 50FPS minimum. The fan on it is... very weak. The ram chips get so hot I could fry a teeny tiny egg on each one. And that's with no overclocking or anything. It hits 59*C tops, however I am only running a case with 2 fans, one of which has a fan blower attached going right at the top of the ram, and will soon be running a 7 fan system. I would strongly suggest getting ramsinks in addition to it. Mind you - this is of course hitting FPS of 25-60 online with maxed detail for a $130 card. If you are still using AGP I would invest in this as your last AGP card until the need to go PCI-E becomes necessary. Don't give me that look - AGP is getting to be as dead as socket 754. Which of course is a shame to all the avid AGP users... but the PCI-E will be nice until another alternative rears its beautiful head. 76% of readers found this review helpful.

Very good performanceStrengths: ATI 9550 8x AGP DVI, superior image quality Weakness: none I recently upgraded my NVidia Geforce FX 5200, and I simply love it. This ATi graphic card delivers smooth graphics and excellent quality makes me happy with its reasonable price of 129.99. This card is good enough for mid and entry level gamers. 68% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

ATI Radeon 9550 Graphics CardStrengths: DVI port, No fan, runs very quietly, 256M memory, high performance/price ratio Weakness: not yet. I am very happy with this card. I don't play fancy 3D games, but I did not get problem with my 3D C&C and car racing. Some of the OEM versions have fan installed, but this ATI card does not have fan. It runs very quietly. 68% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

ATI Radeon 9550 Graphics CardStrengths: 256MB? NONE FOR ME JUST GOOD FOR EVERYONE ELSE Weakness: Can't keep up with new games and some old....Keeps crashing games to the desktop....Many Error reports to send to Microsoft...EA Games Support told me this card is having trouble runnig Battlefield 2! I hate to be the only negative feedback here but have any of the other users tried to play B2, Rainbow Six, desert combat or even Medal of Honor? I wonder. I keep having the games crash to the desktop. Most of the companies have said it is the graphics card and nothing else. Even with the most recent drivers it does this. I have a P4 2.6, 1024RAM, 60G HD (Half used), Sound Blaster, 56x CD ROM so I got the system it's just the card that sucks. I might sell it on Ebay and pay the extra for the new "X" series. X800 maybe? 64% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Jan 16, 2006 I have been having the same problems with my ATI Radeon 9550 crashing back to windows while trying to play BF2 and BF2 Special Forces. This card was actually recommended for the Game, so.........?? Leaves me at a loss, may just try your idea and ditch the card and upgrade. Just does not seem worth the headache trying to "make" this one work.

not badStrengths: easy to install, it supports dual monitors, works fine Weakness: price, doesn't have a GPU fan It's a low cost down-cut version of the 9600. You can overclock it. There are modded drivers out there but some people prefer to use ATI's original drivers. This video card can handle most of the new games without overclocking but the settings have to be on low. Drivers needed to be updated to run new games. 63% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Keeps an old machine aliveStrengths: It really improved my pc's performance. Weakness: Color is all washed out at the default settings...It's hard to find an adjustment that is easy on my eyes. Hate to write this review after reading all of the positive comments here, but this card is worse than my onboard video, in terms of color and eye strain! 62% of readers found this review helpful.

couldn't ask for a better cardStrengths: great graphic detail, even better price. for the money, this is the best card you can get, hands down. Not ready to say goodbye to the affordable AGP cards ? This is the one to get ! Weakness: NONE, this card is damn near perfect i haven't had problems with this card as of yet, and take my word for it, this card takes heavy, daily abuse. still no problems with overheating either, looking forward to overclocking it see if can go even further 50% of readers found this review helpful.

fairly decent productStrengths: has pretty good performance in regular non-gaming daily use. has dvi interface, cheap and worth the money Weakness: not for gaming, does not run fast enough I purchased the card purely because I need a card to hook up my dvi-equipped lcd. The card serves well, it's cheap (I got it for less than $80) and performs well in non-gaming enviornment. Would buy again if I can get the same bargain price. 46% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

sending it backStrengths: haven't found any Weakness: weaker than my 5200 GeForce Like the above user said, don't try to run Medal of Honor- crash city all the time, even Unreal 2004 isn't smooth when I max the values. Choppy performance compared to my Geforce FX 5200 with 128 memory. Upgrading to a better Nvidia card... 35% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

ATI Radeon 9550
The ATI Radeon 9550 is a legacy video card by ATI. It has 256MB of built-in DDR memory and is HDCP certified. It offers DVI, VGA, and S-Video outputs, but lacks the HDMI out commonly found on newer computers. The Radeon 9550 uses the now virtually extinct AGPx4/x8 interface, rather than the more common PCI-E interface now often used by non-integrated graphics cards. It supports all features of... Top
