Question about ATI video cards?

I have an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro.



The game I want to buy lists the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro as the minimum video card requirement.



So is an HD 2400 better than a 9800? Or is the 9800 better?|||ok when radeon do graphics cards they use big numbers, a 9800 is an old card now, the way to remember this is with the letter "X" before the number, the X2400 you would have is a lot better than a 9800 even though the number is higher, they got to 9950 cards and then realised they had to change the way the called the cards as calling a card a 10000 or 11000 would get silly, so they added the "X" infront like a car would with its new set of number plates to notify the difference. hope this helps you. they also add HD to signify High Definition which makes it all the better.|||The HD2400 will work fine. It is a great card. The numbered series of ATI cards are based on different propertys and multi-gpu processors. All in all, the 9800 is recommended, but the 2400 actually casts higher resolutions...especially if you have 2 of them set in Crossfire.



Good Luck,

Devin|||According to the numbers at gpuReview.com the 9800 is a better card, but what you have will probably get the job done.|||The 2400 HD



Just remember that minimum requirements mean that your system will play the game, but probably not too well. I'd go for at least a 3000-series Radeon
