I was kind of surprised to see this on ATis' new site. http://www.ati.com/ Looks like they are taking up nvidias marketing techneques. Smart move really. Anyhow I thought that this was interesting. 8)

Sure, the 8500 is on top these days on the sidebar at Madonion (though why the Geforce4 isn't there I have no idea). ATi might as well cash in while they can.

I win!!

An 8500 is 2147% faster than this Trident Blade 3d at work.

ahah my P200 and Voodoo Banshee couldn't run the tests
It would be funny if Ati's old Rage chip had problems with the test too.

Yeah the Radeon 8500 is 240% faster then my Geforce DDR. Hmm definitly time to upgrade.

The graph said an ATI Radeon7500 would be 249% faster than my ATI Rage 128 pro. Ironically, I recieved an ATI Radeon7500 via Fed Ex today My current 3Dmark score is 1134. I'm going to install the 7500 and see if my new score is 249% faster.

Crap, according to that Analyzer, a Radeon 8500 would be 159% faster than my overclocked GeForce4 Ti4600 I'm using now. I knew it! Playing my games at 1600x1200 w/4x FSAA is too slow, I need to get me a R8500!

I'm genuienly impressed. My score with the 7500 is 3023. Not the 249% faster that was expected, but not too bad. Now I wish I could run RTCW with AA on 64 person servers with fps above 10.

The ATI analyzer was wrong because my actual performance increase with the 7500 was over 350%!

I think your probably reading that wrong their, when it says 159% your card is taken as 100%, so that means the 8500 is 59% faster not 159% faster.

I tried it with my Kyro II and was suprised to find it quite accurate (well accurate from a 3dmark2001 point of view anyway) and even a little modest too as far as 3dmark2001 goes. It said that a Radeon 8500 would be 140% faster in my system, I get 3200 with my Kyro II and when I had a 8500 in this system I used to get around 8000 (I think it was 8200 actually) which is just over 150% faster then 3200. Not such a bad performance analyzer really, unlike the Nvidia one which says I will get a big speed increase if I replace my Kyro II with a Geforce 2 MX200

Matt, I magnaminously offer to exchange you a brand new retail 8500 for your Ti4600.

Yes I am that nice.....
