Radeon

Hey guys
I've noticed theres two versions of the ATI Radeon 8500 - one with 275/275 gpu/memory and another with 250/250 i think its like Devil Monster II

does anyone know where i could get the cheapest version of the 275/275 retail with international shipping? Will it make much difference if i buy the monster II ? Perfomance wise?

What is the difference between the two they both say "ATI Radeon 8500 Retail" ?

Cheers

Ummm are you sure that Devil Monster II isn't a R8500LE? That would explain a lot. And I don't know I think they did a review on the card and it performed worse than an ATi 8500LE. So..... Look into it more. Read some reviews.

Retail is around 10% faster.

The Devil Monsters are third-party cards made by Apollo. They are slower (according to benchmarks I've seen)than the ATI LEs, but they are pretty cheap. I don't know how good of a manufacturer Apollo is. I'm guessing not the best.
