The GeForce 8500GT is NVIDIA's value-priced contender in the
GeForce 8 series. The 8500GT has a 450MHz core clock and 400MHz memory
clock, but how is this $100 creation able to compete against other
graphics cards from ATI and NVIDIA? We have our hands on the
passively-cooled Gigabyte GeForce 8500GT 256MB graphics card and have
run our usual Linux graphics tests along with some of our first
overclocking attempts with this new solution. Without further ado, we
present the world's first Linux benchmarks of the NVIDIA GeForce 8500GT.
