only using my radeon 8500. 7711 is what I get with it after a little tweaking. as of now as far as I understand it the Ti 500 pushes a little more for now..but who knows with later radeon drivers.

Recently bought one @ CompUSA after reading all the rather shoddy Radeon 8500 reviews.
Heres the first round of benchmarks:
Epox 8k7a
1.4 Tbird @ 1627 (155 fsb)
256 Crucial DDR
Visiontek Ti500 (260/570)
Nvidia Detonator4 21.85

3dmark2k1: 8096
Quake3 @ 1600*1200 w/ 32 tap anistropic filtering: 100 fps
Max Payne @ 1280*1024 w/ 32 tap anistropic filtering: 50 fps

Gonna test it more this weekend, but so far its awesome!
Oopsies! I used WinXP Pro (final)
Using 98SE I got slightly worse scores (about 7400 3dmarks)

and this Mis is going back to the depths it came from.

I still haven't decided whether to buy a 8500 or Ti500. Right now I'm leaning towards the Ti500. The Ti500 is overpriced compared to the competition. So I'm waiting to see if ATI can get better drivers out and see how much Ti500 price drops. I'm also still dealing with these Absolute/3dpower morons who can take their GeForce 3 card and shove it up their ass!
