Just bought an 8500LE. . .
I must say, it's a very nice card. Very fast, crisp graphics, cool features, not to mention the fact that it is overclocked from 250/250 to 320/290 with no additional cooling.
 Anway, are there any sort of tweaks that I should apply to this card? I'm used to using a Kyro, so I don't really know whats out there, other than the Omega drivers that I'm am currently using. |

By the way, are there any BIOS updates? I didn't see any at the ATI site.

well unless you want to flash the bios to retail specs I wouldnt really bother if you have no issues with it.

8500LE to 8500
Is the 8500LE essentially the same card as the 8500? What's the advantage to flashing your 8500LE with the 8500 bios? I have an 8500LE and want to understand the advantages to flashing it as an 8500. What differences will I notice? What are the risks? etc.
Thanks... |

Advantages? The speed will be 275/275 as opposed to 250/250. There could be problems if the voltage is messed up or your card doesn't want to overclock, but it should work alright.
