Title: 8500GT OC FTW!!!
Post by: smitty1258 on March 04, 2008, 09:08:22 AM
Bought this card in replacement for my 8800GTS 512 (G92) until it comes back from EVGA, mainly because I was sick of my 8400GS. I bought this card because of #1 price after rebate, and #2 it had pretty good reviews and higher stock clocks than the other 8500gt's , and DDR3 to boot!
Since I sold my E8400 and my machine is down, I just threw it in my wifes machine (where it will eventually end up) for testing. I can say that if you are in need of a video card, and dont have $200+ to blow, this is the card you want.
Here are the results.

Ive been messing with this most of the morning, and It seems to have no OC end in sight.
TO the 8500GT-OC Core clock 600MHz Memory Clock 1200MHz
Load temps are right around 52c and idle about 45 ish. I did remove the stock thermal shit and put on some Artic cermiqe before I even plugged this bad boy in.
A lot more than this, this test wasn't to compare to the $200+ cards, as the 8800gt but to show that a $50 card can still give you kick ass performance.
