Re:The and 9100 are the same card. They are slightly slower than the regular 8500, but can usually be overclocked to the speed of an 8500. The 9000 is slower than all of them. Go with either the or the 9100, whichever is cheaper (which will only be a difference of a couple bucks, I just bought a 9100 for my secondary system).

Edit: None of them are DX9.


Re:I've looked several times, and not found any, so I just read the Tomshardware vga shootout, and compared my own results and guessed, that the 9100 was a tad shy of the 8500, but supposed to be a DX9 card (I thought), or at least next genration, and available. I am not sure of the DX9 thing now though, but happy with the card anyway.

Re:Yeah, the 9000 is slower than the 8500 and I think the 9100 is faster in most cases but the 8500 still beats it in other cases.

Re:thx. i will get the 9100. pretty much the same thing as 8500 but cheaper.

Re:I vote for the 9100 64 meg. I have two of the 9100 128 meg, and on the XP2400 cpu stock, I get about 8000 3dmarks in 01, and it works fine for all my games.
