<p class="arthead">May 2002 3Digest - ATI RADEON 8500DV</p>
<p class="author">By <a class="text_link" href="mailto:Anvakams@ixbt.com">Andrew Worobyew</a></p>
<p class="artcont">This chip is presented by ATI All-In-Wonder RADEON 8500DV 64 MBytes, AGP videocard.

<p class="artcont">This combine bases on RADEON 7500. It lets user not only to enjoy 3D-games, but also to watch TV broadcasts, record video, send images, etc.
<p class="artcont">It's a pity, but this plenty of capabilites must be paid off by paring 3D performance capabilities down, in other words, by decreasing clock rates. Read more about this card in our review.
<p class="artcont">Features:<UL>
<li> ATI RADEON 8500 chip, 230 MHz clock rate; 
<li> 64 MBytes DDR SGRAM memory in 4 Samsung 5ns microchips, 190 (380) MHz clock rate, 128-bit bus; 
<li> Peak fill rate in the multitexturing mode is 920 megapixels/sec and 1840 megatexels/sec.</ul>
<p class="artcont">Wasn't overclocked.
<p class="artcont">For the 10th of May 2002 the latest drivers from ATI are 9.030, 9.031 for Windows 9x/ME and 6.071 for Windows XP. You can see the perfomance of this card in the summary diagrams.
<p class="artcont">I shall note there's Radeon2.ru web-site that tracks all software novelties from ATI and offers improved drivers versions with preset registry settings for increasing RADEON cards perfomance.
<p class="artcont">All details about this card's work with 3D graphics are available in the ATI RADEON 8500 section, so I recommend it to everybody who's interested. And all the details of this combine itself are in this review.
