Time to test my radeon8500 but drivers?

[Thunderbird1GHz]

This will be the first time im using an ati product, is the 3.4 cats the best for 3dmark? ati's website only has the 3.6 and its seperated in 3 parts too one driver, control pannel and something else. can anyone link me to 3.4 or the best 3dmark driver for a radeon8500. I wonder if I can break 13k marks but I wanna find out

Use the latest Omega drivers and Rage3D. That's what I get the best results with. Also if you look at the bottom of the ATI driver page you will see a link for previous versions of drivers.

I'm not sure about the 8500 but the high 3D Markers live by the Cat 3.2s still.

You can still get them on the ATi site here:

Scroll down. Those drivers are for WinXP. I dunno what you're running.

hint, save this URL, it is an important one for you as you seem to be into vid cards a lot.

lots of stuff there, all the drivers, all the versions, even includes a new ATI control panel stuffs if you want it.

as much as you talk about and fool with vid cards, i a totally surprised at this question, you are supposed to be the guru/??????

Cat 3.2 I believe is what is getting the highest scores.
