Here is a link that helps your r8500 run like a fire gl 8800
. After installation card will now be detected as a Firegl 8800.It has a Maya option in the preferences, along with lightwave and every other renderer. It will not perform like the fire gl 8800 but will get you support for Maya 4.0 faster benchmarks in the various renderers, but be warned several posts indicate slower (a little bit) performance in some games. To unlock the true potential of the r8500 a hardware mod is needed but found no such post. The rv250 with 128mb vram is more suited to emulate the fire gl 8800 perhaps even surpass it. <A HREF="http://home.arcor.de/friku/3008_Generic.zip" target="_new">http://home.arcor.de/friku/3008_Generic.zip&lt;/A>
