Cheap DX10 card, Dreams
come true
Today,
we’ll be looking at the most affordable DirectX 10 hardware on the market – the
Geforce 8500GT. The card could be bought on various online retailers for mere 80
USD. Among all other 8500GTs, we choose ECS Geforce 8500GT for this review. The
ECS card is factory overclocked to 500/900 while nVidia’s references 8500s are
only running at 450/800. Unlike the 8600s, there is only one variant for 8500
and it is the 8500GT. According to nVidia’s specification, the 8500GT has 16
stream processors and 128-bit memory bus. Though from the numbers, the card
looks under power and it is the purpose of this review – to see how the card
actually performs in various benchmarks. For modern video cards, pipeline width
may not tell the whole story sometimes, it is the architecture that affects the
card’s performance efficiency. From what we have seen on the big brothers –
8800s, they are fast and very efficient; if the family trait remains, the little
8500GT may prove itself to be one nice little gem for mild gamers.
