Sapphire Radeon 8500LE????????????????

Hi,
I want to know if anyone has a Sapphire Radeon 8500LE 64MB.
Compared to ATI, much difference in performance??????? And Drivers??????

Is it good????

Thanks

I hear that it's just fine...

Unless you can find a reseller that can guarantee that you get one clocked at 250/250, I personally would avoid ALL the current 8500LE's whether it's from ATI or a 3rd party manufacturer. 8500LE is targeted at the low end market these days and the clock speeds are MUCH slower than what they used to be. What's worst, the components are just as bad so you can't overclock it as well.

I recently heard this too!:( Mine is the older LE so its 250/275:D But this sucks that they are changing standerds on their 8500LE's just to sell more 9000's.:(
