128MB Radeon 8500 at Buy.Com, 3.3ns ram?

[alkemyst]

Is this the card to get now? Is it a 250/250 with 3.3ns RAM? It is a retail ATI.

Thanks, haven't bought a vid card since my TNT2 ultra

Newegg has a 64mb 8500 for $90 shipped that has 3.3ns ram and comes clocked at 250/275. Seems like a better deal than the Buy.com one which is pricier.

The BUY.COM is $113 for 128MB Retail package with some game controller...that is shipped. $23 for 64MB of memory and a controller seems pretty good...just ATI does spec out anything on their cards.

Its the 8500 128MB retail package....not sure what the timing or ram speeds are

That Buy.com game pack deal is a good one. The only better deal is/was the ATi Radeon 8500 retail (not LE), but they are hard to find these days. Buy.com lists them as discontinued. Too bad, they are faster than the Radeon 9000 Pro.
