My radeon 8500 core/mem speed correct?

[FungFuBilly]

I was wondering if the core/mem of my radeon 8500 le is the correct speed... Both Radeonator LE 1.2 and RivaTuner both report 249/364. I havnt changed the speed at all, just got the card.

Seems to be performing much slower than my friends r8500 LE, he gets roughly 2,000 - 3,000 more 3dmarks than me (~5,300 compared to 8,000+ on his). And he has a slower cpu too (same bus speed though, 266). Radeonator LE 1.2 says 250/250 for his. Any help would be appriciated...

i think the 8500le is clocked 250/240

 

[FungFuBilly]

hmmmm, 240 is alot lower than 364...

Your memory speed is low. 364 is 182 ddr

What brand and model 8500LE is it?

 

[FungFuBilly]

It's a Sapphire, not sure what model it is... If mines 182, would that mean my friends is 125? Or is the program just not detecting it correctly because its too low? Also, would that much difference in ram speed make up for that difference in 3dmarks?

The program is detecting the speed x2. So if it was rated for 250/250 program would read it as 250/500
This must be your model
