The FireStream 9250 was a professional graphics card by AMD, launched on June 16th, 2008. Built on the 55 nm process, and based on the RV770 graphics processor, in its RV770 PRO variant, the card supports DirectX 10.1. Since FireStream 9250 does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The RV770 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 256 mm² and 956 million transistors. It features 800 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. AMD has paired 1,024 MB GDDR3 memory with the FireStream 9250, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 625 MHz, memory is running at 993 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the AMD FireStream 9250 draws power from 1x 6-pin power connector, with power draw rated at 150 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI. FireStream 9250 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface. The card measures 234 mm in length, 111 mm in width, and features a single-slot cooling solution.
