My friend needs a card good enough to run games that arent very graphic heavy, like World of Warcraft, and he found a card but he brought up the fact it says DirectX8 on it. Since directx 9.0C is around nowaday will it really matter? Ive never really knew if there would be a problem or not if your running a different version than what the card says.
 
has to be PCI. Doesnt have the money to get upgrade and get PCIe/AGP motherboard + new card

I was reading all the reviews and multiple people said it runs WoW fine, some even said on all high settings.

i would reccomend a x1300 instead of the 9250
 
Oops, missed the PCI only part of the equation. I would tend to agree with schneiderguy about the X1300, but at this point I have no clue where to find any benchies that would actually allow a comparison of the cards in question...

the x1300 should be around twice as fast as the 9250 --- they both have four pixel pipelines, but the x1300 has a much higher core clock and a more efficient architecture. 🙂
 
They are hard to find but a pci 6200 nvidia is faster then a 9250 but slower then the x1300. Heres one http://www.pagecomputers.com/store/prod...ame=33g33c200s999&product%5Fid=1116183

But I would grab one on ebay for about 50 -60 bucks

I would personally get this one!! BFG 6200 pci overclock with 256megs ram for 40 bucks!

My friends plays wow on all high with a X800 pro , you could get a X800xl / 7600gt agp for $150 below. This will play WOW and almost every game smooth.
