xfx 8500 gt

[sandman92]

is the 8500 gt from xfx any good

has any one used this video card

It's absolutely terrible for gaming if you wanted it for gaming.

 

[cannondale06]

those cards are $50 for a reason. even an 8600gt is terrible for gaming above 1024x768 and the 8500gt has only half the power of it.

 

[Wolfkin]

No, not if you want to use it for games. The card have problems getting above 20fps at 1280x1024 in almost any game even remotly modern.

It's not even that good for HD video (blu-rays). They don't play the VC-1 codec in hardware like ATI cards do.

 

[sandman92]

is their any good cards for under 100 dollars

you can get the 9600gt for around $100. if you go any lower than that you will not be happy especially if you want to play modern games above 1024x768.

There's great cards under $100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121219

You could probably get a used 8800 GT for under $100 now too.
