Cheap DX10 for the masses. Actually it's performance when OCed is near the 7600GS.

Why even bother calling it an 8500gt? I doubt the 8300, 8400 could have any less shaders.
Dont get me wrong i know it's supposed to be cheap dx10 entry card but seriously the 2300's are gonna kick it's ass all over the playground.

I have the 8500 GT. I bought it to replace my 6600s in SLi and it has done the job wonderfully. I only bought it for $70, so it was a deal I couldn't pass up.

ok I bought a biostar 8500gt for 85 dollars,plays bf 2142 1024x768 all high 2 aa very well.5500 3dmark score all stock with a amd64 x2 3800 2 gig ram ecs 6100sm mobo.bf 2142 is a very rough game to run on high and this does it very well with far superiour iq of any other series graphics cards.

I got 2 different brands of 8500 GT, Palit and Inno3D. The Inno3D has a core/memory clock at 460/400 and I overclocked it to 700/500. Some other Inno3Ds can make it up only to 700/450. For the Palit that had speeds of 600/600, I overclocked it to 750/800 and it can do even more on the core clock. Some other Palits could make it up to only 750/750.

MSI oc version 600-1400 is equal to 7600gt performance.

The 8500 GT freakin rocks... I was a little hesitant at first but it is an excellent card at the price. Plays Oblivion with everything turned up to max, no prob at all.

excellent buy

i got an asus silent 8500gt when i built my new rig a month ago. bioshock runs at 1280/1024 with max settings. using xp so dont kknow if it could handle the dx10 stuff aswell but for �70 it was well worth it. using 2.1ghz dual core and 2 gig ram i got a sweet mid-high gaming rig for next to nothing.

i got a fanless msi version from newegg recently and was terribly disappointed. barely outperformed my 7300 gt in a couple situations and managed to do worse in others. you can get a 7600 gs for cheaper, or go up to an 8600 gt for not much more if you need dx 10.

this is a great card. i have gygabyte 8500gt 512 turbo force. and i OCed it to 650core,1604shader, 530memory (600core,1570shader,400memory default).with pentium D 3 GHz and 2gb ram, it scored 4032 in 3dmark06 on 1024 no AA,AF

Okay. I gotta ask this because nobody has.

What is the point of adding 1 GB of video ram on this card if it can't run games that require 1 GB of video memory well? There aren't any games that require that much video memory yet (as far as I know), but I suspect that they would need at least an 8800 series card or better to run well with that amount of data being piped to the card.

Can anyone figure out why the card manufacturers are doing this? Do they think we are really that stupid?

A 64-bit 8500GT would be an overclocked 8400GS
