Xabre better than 8500 LE?

[parhelia]

I found this benchmark interesting and wanted to share this

There's a benchmark at http://xabregamers.free.fr/modules/news/article.php?storyid=34

The Xabre 400 is compared to the Geforce 4 MX460, MX440, Geforce3 Ti 200, etc. and the ATI Radeon 8500 LE.

Nothing extraordinary really, but the results are good for a low end card.

Competition is good and will benefit us all.

Here is the proper URL:

Actually, I think the original thread-author was refering to this article, which includes more of a diverse range of hardware: http://xabregamers.free.fr/modules/news/article.php?storyid=34

Anyways, both reviews contain some nice bits of information.

Hey look, it was tested on Win98 SE!

But no one uses that system anymore! [/sarcasm]

The problem i see is that his 8500 number 0f 119, even for an LE is really really LOW.

Perhaps he actually had a LELE version.... It could be release drivers to...

Yeah, who knows, but heh, it's interesting that SiS manage to pull out a card which come close to that!

"The Xabre 400 offers performance similar to nVidia's Geforce3 Ti 200 and better than the ATI Radeon 8500 LE, at a lower price."

Hmm if u take a look at the 8500LE vs T4200 review B3D is linking to on the front page the above statement just doesnt really compute. The LE in that review is actually pretty close to the GF4TI4200 and therefore cannot be slower than a GF3Ti200.

Uhh besides, where does he find the price of the Xabre400?

It seems that the boost in FPS is made at the expense of the quality of the image...

Uhh yeah that is not pretty. Now if they had only included a R8500LE in that review since they are around the same price as the GF3TI200

Look again at digit-life page....it's a Radeon 7500.

As a side note, why can't digit-life ever write more than a one-page article?
