I am probably going to be buying a radeon 8500. I have two questions for you users.

number one I read in a magazine this month that the radeon 8500 was found to not work with a couple of games. I was wondering if any of you found the card with the newest drivers to be incompitible with any games.

Last how does this card do in unreal tournament. Is the frame rate slow or fast.

Thank you.

Thats Totally baised crap. Yet did they rate the GF3 Ti500 11 out of 10 stars. Every games works fine dont buy into that stuff. Stick to online review sites like THG, Anand, hardocp.

1600x1200 with 60fps works fine for me.

Unreal Tournament is more CPU dependant than it is graphics card dependant.

As a long time dedicated UT player and running my own clan I have had a heck of alot of experiance with systems, cards and how they perform.

UT will deffinately suck up every bit of CPU power you got. The better that is the better off you are. But the Graphics card does help and I am afraid to say that UT doest perform super great on the Raddeon :(  But its still more than good enough for my 2 m8s who use it.

ps: If you want to play UT well do what a friend of mine did and buy a Voodoo 5 on the cheap. It absolutely flys with that game
