ps dont forget I have the fastest gfx card for peg right now (until new drivers)

AFAIK Radeon 8500 is faster than 9000 Pro, specially in high resolution

do you really think i'd make a statement like that without it being factual? I have a Radeon 9000 PRO II  much more advanced than regular 9000. I had an 8500 in there I took out and put this in.. this card is hard to come by. I had a kick ass 8500 with a zalman heatsink (passive) i sold it to kiero or someone a while back.

I have to inform you that if the application uses multitexture a full R8500 should always be faster than any 9000 because the latter only has one texture unit. So I'll wait for a factual test with RTCW for example and not your old memories.

@realize

R9000 is twice slower than R8500 in some parts of the rendering with games that use multitexturing. It's just an faster R7500. Core and memory are just 25Mhz faster than R8500 but R9000 core is too weak, no matter you raise core&memory frequenzy, it will be slower. In some situations even the slower 8500LE will be faster. Perform your tests with 1024x768, 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 and you'll see R8500 is faster.

@magnetic

your card runs at 300Mhz and 8500 runs at 275Mhz. It's like comparing a cache-less 300Mhz celeron with a 275Mhz PentiumII.
