Still, the radeon 8500 doesnt seem to have nearly as many problems as it does it windows XP.
Hydravision refuses to work without crashing while changing settings. And Im still having problems with counter-stirke not displaying on the full screen, but rather taking up about a quarter of the screen.
Its given me headaches ever since I bought it. I'm sure a lot of people have it working fine, but just check out rage3d's 8500 forum, and you will seee the many problems that you will likely face using the 8500 with windows XP. And ATi lied about delivering up to date drivers, the last release was more than a month ago. ATi better release some drivers before christmas.
