Retail ATI 8500LE 128MB ? what clock rate?

[Blastman]

Future shop (Canada) has some retail 8500LE 128MB?s, anyone know what they?re clocked at?

The older ones should be 250/250 with good overclocking room. The newer ones these days are much slower and come with varying clock speeds, most common being 230/230 or slower. To make it worse, they don't overclock very well either.

The "real" R8500LE is now called the Radeon 9100 these days, everything else is jokingly referred to as R8500LELE or even R8500LELELE these days.

Ya, I was considering a Sapphire 9100. I know the Sapphire 9100?s clock rates ?

9100 64MB - 250/230
9100 128MB ? 250/200

I wish ATI would put some info on their site about the clock rate of their cards. I couldn?t find anything.

True Dat, those extremely low clock rates are bs. I w0uldn't buy a 9100, or 8500 without first emailing the company, and asking for the clock rates core and mem. ATI should have a better handle on this imo.
