Hey guys, my uncle from Russia is here, he knows almost 0 @ comps so & I want him to buy me a Radeon 8500 there, then he'll send it to me. (In Israel there are no Radeon 8500s yet. Like the last time, I'll be 1 of the first to have a new ATI card here... :))
I want to be 100% sure that he gets me the correct thing and not the 7500 for example... So to my request, any one who has the Radeon 8.5K and a web cam, plz post a pic of the card and the box it came in.
Pics will be very apriciated...
Not the greatest pic, but I think it'll do:
I'd post a pic of the card itself, but, I don't think my husband would appreciate me taking it out of his system =\

The Coolest,
Mah Nishma?
Make sure your uncle isnt dooped into getting one of the Chinese made Radeon 8500's
Tell him to avoid the White Box Radeon 8500 and these boxes which most likely have the 250/240 card

I was just interested, what's wrong with chineese cards? my RAGE 128 was made in china & it was clocking like crazy 90core/90mem defaults to 105core/125(!!!)mem.
This stupid RAGE FURY MAXX won't do even an extra 10MHz on the mem!!! & its made in canada...

Because the chinese made cards are all OEM.
ATi in Canada only make the 275/275 Retail cards.

Yea it could be the reason I can't find any updated drivers for it, after 29 aug. 2000:mad:
The TNT2 Pro I have is a better performer than the Fury MAXX... I hate it!!!!!! Don't have enough free $$$ to buy new vid card...
