8500 Dual Display & Performance

[Wildfire]

Hi

I currently run the Leadtek GeForce 2 Mx DH Pro card and am looking at upgrading soon. I am thinking about the ATI Radeon 8500, but I've not heard much about it.

How good is it?I run a few games, but also do video editing and a lot of 3D work such as Maya and Softimage XSI.

I am not too keen on paying over £200 really, I think I can get it for about £200.

Cheers

if you dont want to pay as much money go with a Radeon 7500, its about 130$ and comes with Hydravision (dual monitor) as well, but games at the same fps as a geforce2 Pro.....also the 8500 seems like a good buy, the reviews ive read really like the hydravision, also ask R&B he uses the support as well....
