OK I was so damn happy to recieve my Radeon 8500 128mb DDR yesterday! Such a sweet car. First thing I did was remove my nVidia Card drivers and cleaned it out with a proggy.

Installed the 6071's for Win2K w/ Rage3D tweak and clocked it 300/300 anything beyond that froze, and this is stable so I'll keep it how it is.

Installed 3dMark, and damn NATURE Graphics are CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY! Very crazy because my previous card was a GeForce 2 MX200..

Anyways I scored 10,008..
I can easily break the 11K barrier if I unlocked my XP and got the high FSBs my nVidia card couldn't handle (200+).. and add ramsinks and better cooling but all that's not worth it and I'm happy that I even have a good card! All I need now are games to play with it, here's the linkage:

CPU Specs under description, if Takiwa is reading this you can use this to add to the OC 3dMark site.

Man graphics on ATI rocks!
 
yodums bro im there with ya, i got the same video card about 2 days ago. did you get 3.6 ns ram? on the 128 ddr? i cant give a score becuase the 2k drivers cause 3d amrk to crash on advanced pixel shader. but im at 310/310 and it runs all of 3d mark minus the advanced perfect with 10 loop/10 loop hope i can go higher :) i think we BOTH picked the big winner :D

oh btw my fsb = 160 and no problems, unless the 3d mark is caused by the fsb but if thats the case, im not going default just for some stupid benchmark :mad:

You can get a score by running the 4 game tests only. Just disable all other tests...
