    Maybe you should just try different drivers.
    ATi dont make good drivers, But their cards are great.

    it's the drivers man

    yeah I went to their site www.ATI.com and downloaded their drivers, it was crappy drivers imo. I use to run a 8500 LE too, and i score around 8000 - 9000 (1024x768x32) with my 1.8A setup overclocked to 2.3 with Turbo Ram on, and everything tweaked up.

    the new radeon catalyst drivers are now available for download at www.rage3d.com.

    official ATi drivers are good drivers but they dont capitalise on them and make them better like nvidia sdo. So head over to rage3d.com you'll find the best there
