Radeon 8500 (LE?) 3100 with 4xAA ?!?!?!

[rzb932]

Does 3100 seem kind of low for a Radeon 8500 (LE?) with 4x AA performance settings.
Xp 2000+
512 megs DDR 333
Gigabyte GA-7VRX
Radeon 8500 (LE?) 250/275 core/memory (is that normal?)

The AA doesn't even look that good. The Radeon, i thought had very nice AA. Tell me what you think. (maybe problem)

take the AA off when runing the benchmarks, then I could tell ya if your getting a good score.

MOST BENchmarks are run with out FSAA!!


3500 with FSAA is pretty good!

[rzb932]

i did run it without AA. I was just asking if 3100 was good with AA. I got around 8600 without AA. in games though with 4x AA even Quake 3 at 1024x768 runs slow. goes down to about 30 or 40 fps

8600 is very nice score

[Bizkitkid2001]

Its not as fast as normal Radeons because you got the LE version which is slower.

[grimfandango]

you are luckey to get your card clocked at 250/275!!

Most ATi 8500le come with 220/230 or 230/250

:t

dont worry about the core/mem speed of the card believe me its fast.

My 7500 defaults at 290/460(DDR) and i can get it upto 340/500 with no added fand etc and i get 5000 default and 1700 with 4XAA. Thats nearly double what i get with my xp1800
