ATI 8500

[Anubis]

OK ive been hearin things about peole getting the 8500 and having different speeds. apperantly newegg is sellin some that are 250/250 or 230/230 which is shatty cause you have to flash the bios and crap. i was woundering where you could get a retelivly cheep card that has the 275/275 if thats possiable. because that what the retail version is supposed to have if im not mistaken. and if i bought the retale version would i be gaurenteed the 275/275 speeds???

Lol, when is Anand going to put in a spell checker.

If you but the retail ATI branded card you will have 275/275 speeds.
Do you self a favor and buy the retail card if your that worried
about the speeds.

i never credit myself on being a good typer actually im probillythe worst typer and speller in the world i have come to grips wih that and i beleive spell checker was invented for me

The retail version is usually the faster of the cards, while the OEM version is clocked more slowly.

Yep.. save yourself the trouble and buy the retail version.

TheEvil1 glad to here you have come to grips with one of your weaknesses. I also am not a good speller. But you are probably a happy person unlike people who make a joke at other peoples expense and that are probably miserable.

You might get a retail at dell when they have 20% off or something if you can wait. They had a lot of people that got one for around 220$ but had to wait forever. I personally canceled my order and picked a refurbished Gainward ti200 at newegg for 150$. Good Luck and Peace

~TheEvil1~, Ebonics on this fourm annoys people, mostly because its a true form of ignorance, ignorance and computers dont mix . I'm not calling you ignorant, just a little FYI.

~Beatles~ Pointless smartass remarks which dont help the poster of this thread in any way shape or form is just plain rong and unneeded :disgust:
