CNetPC.com is offering this deal on the retail ATI Radeon 8500 le. I've been searching for a while and this is the best "built by ATI" retail deal that' I've found on the 128mb version. Let me know if I'm wrong. I may jump on this deal!

How does this card compare with the 9000 or 9700?

 

[larciel]

i'd get this over 9000

but i'd get 9700 anyday.. IF i have $

come to think of it.. making choices for hardware parts isn't that hard .. you just have to look at your wallet

 

[SirChadwick]

The 9700 is tempting, but for my budget the 8500 has the best performance for the buck!

Wow, great find, chadeades. Cnet PC is ok. They don't ship lightning fast, but they are reliable.
