Radeon Retail 8500

[Bubba]

I just bought a retail 8500 yesterday aqnd I see so many different things about these cards.How can I tell if it's 3.6n memory and how can I check to see what the gpu and mem speeds are?Also what is the best program for twaking these cards?e

I have one too but its still sealed in the package I think the ram speed i writen on the Ram its self. I know if you download Power Strip you can tweak alot of cards and it will also show you the VC specs @ default. My 8500 is retail so it should be 275/275...

Bump I want a better answer

a Retail radeon 8500 is 3.6ns and it runs at 275/275....but there are newer ones that are 3.3ns not sure if theyre built by Ati though...

look on the ram if it says -36 then its 3.6ns....
