I have a geforce 3.
p4 2 gig.
512 megs ram


i have found a few radeon 8500 cards i am interested in.

would a 64 meg radeon 8500le be better than a geforce 3?
i may buy one today and sell my geforce 3...btw my geforce 3 runs 225/530

le runs 250/240 right?
or for 15$ more i can get a powered by ati card 275/275...built by another brand?

I have a Retail Radeon 8500 275/275.

The only way to get the 275/275 card is to get the retail "built by ATI" version. All the LE, LELE, "powered by ATI", etc cards are clocked lower.

I love my Radeon.

I have the original Radeon64 ViVo.

great card, but slow...

Need a new one, but I won't be getting one for a looooong time.

ATI Radeon 128MB 8500. Was a very significant jump in performance from a GF3 for me. My first ATI card and I'm very impressed.

128MB ATI Radeon 8500 Retail (will do 300/300, but I only do that when playing games)

Why is this in Off Topic??

good question....i guess i should move it eh?

You cant move it, only mods can. I dont care either way, but you'd get more informed answers in the Video forum, instead of the almost mono-syllabic responses typical of Off Topic.

Anyway I wouldnt bother getting an 8500 over a GF3.

i'm with Ameeesh...

Just got an ASUS V8420 Geforce 4 TI4200 128MB card about 10 days ago, for the newer games coming out... had a Matrox G450 Dual-Head before, sold that in FS/FT ... I'm liking this new card very much!

Changed from Ti200 to a Radeon 8500LE. IT's much better in terms or speed and quality IMO. I've got a 8500LE for sale. LMK if you're interested. It's a 128mb version.

I'm coming at ya with an old creaking Voodoo5.

It's probably the oldest thing I've got running, but the clock is ticking.
