ATI Radeon 8500?

[PurdueTech]

Does anyone know when the ATI Radeon 8500 and 7500
are coming out? And what the price is expected to be?

I am guessing that they are released 9/24 based on what NewEgg.com says on PriceWatch. From another post, they are suppossed to show in B&M stores the first week of October. The 8500 can be preordered for $300, the 8500DV for $420, and the 7500 for $190.

BlakkIce, I don't think that will be a problem.

im just anxious every one is giving it these kick ass reviews

Everyone? Well, I don't know about that. It's too early to say, most of the features on the preview boards didn't even work.

I placed my order at ebgames.com. They have a 30day money back guarantee. If the card doen't work right it's going back.

Well, I did not preorder one. I decided to wait for the reviews first, then the inevitable price drop over the first month as they became available. Once the price stabilizes, I will pick one up.

I did this with the Radeon 32 MB DDR, and bought it for $150 last year, instead of $200+ when it first came out. Of course, 3 months later it was going for $100. Oh well.
