ATI Radeon 8500

Monday December 03, 2001
AUD
$759
Price at time of review.

This card is the same card as the Bravura Evil Master II, but without the retail extras thrown in. The card itself is a fairly plain-looking affair - a simple green PCB (printed circuit board) with a small cooling fan and heatsink over the GPU, and an array of RAM modules absent of the large RAM heatsinks now commonplace on the NVIDIA models.

GeForce-level performance and excellent image quality, but still no match for the Ti 500.
