Real ATI 8500LE or NewEgg Generic 8500 275/275?

[markrb]

NewEgg is selling the made by Ati 8500LE clocked at 250/275 for $96 shipped.
Or I could grab the
NewEgg generic 8500 275/275 for $116 shipped. They don't say who makes it.
Both are 64mb's.
What is the better deal? I need a video card soon.

Thanks,
Mark

i do not see an oem 8500 for $116, but i do see one for $109 (free shipping). that one is made by sapphiretech (click on "product link"). some ppl on these boards reported troubles with sapphiretech 500's... so i would stick with the made by ati 8500le. it overclocks to stock 8500 levels anyway.

I'd go with the LE. I wouldn't trust anyone other than ATi with ATi cards.
