Well, I am still stuck with this OEM Radeon 8500 even tho I ordered the faster retail versions and I still haven't found any kind soul willing to send me the retail bios patch, but what can I say... *sigh*
In the mean time, I've been playing with 3D Mark2001 on this card and I am suprised to get a score of 7700. Is this a normal score or what? I have a GeForce Ti 500 which gives me a score of 7800 on the same system. It's kinda odd if you ask me. Again, this is the 230MHz core / 230MHz Memory version, not the 250MHz or the 275MHz which I wanted but got ripped off on!!!
System Specs:
Windows XP Pro (All the windowsupdate patches installed)
Disabled unneeded services and system tray icons
AMD Athlon XP 1800+
OEM Radeon 8500 230MHz/230MHz latest drivers (Unoffical)
Abit KR7A-RAID (Latest beta bios)
Not useing PCI latency patch or VIA 4-in-1 drivers
2 - 256MB OCZ Technology PC2400 (Maximum memory settings)
SB Audigy (Didn't install the drivers for it tho)
I'm still looking for the retail bios too, thanks
Have a great new year everyone,
Mike.
