XFX Releases GeForce 8500 GT Fatal1ty Edition
XFX today released the first and only graphics card of its kind; a Championship Gaming Series (CGS)-approved Fatal1ty 8500 GT 512MB (PV-T86J-Y1S3). Created in collaboration with Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel, winner of 12 world titles and renowned international gaming expert, this highly overclocked gaming card features UltraSilent Cooling. Available exclusively in the U.S. at Best Buy, this card has an 850MHz memory clock that is 20% faster than a standard GeForce 8500 GT.
Additional features include NVIDIA unified architecture with GigaThread Technology; full Microsoft DirectX 10 Shader Model 4.0 support; 16x full-screen anti-aliasing and true 128-bit floating point high dynamic-range (HDR) lighting. The Fatal1ty 8500 GT also is NVIDIA SLI ready and features NVIDIA Quantum Effects physics processing technology. The Dual-link DVI output supports up to 2560x1600 resolution for exceptional game play on the industry's largest and highest resolution flat panel displays. Additional features include PureVideo HD Technology and NVIDIA ForceWare Unified Driver Architecture (UDA).
Built for Microsoft Windows Vista, the card supports dual display configuration as well as HDMI with the use of an approved converter and appropriate SPDIF audio cable.
Professional quality equipment for professional performance. That's what you get when you put XFX together with Fatal1ty.

I would love to see how many n00bs are actually fooled by this POS.
I am actually surprised that Johnathan allowed them to put his signature on this one... not even an average gamer would choose this video card. :confused:
most of them are a waste of money.
Shit, my video card says XFX play hard, yet it has a BIOS that does 677MHz core and 866 memory, I didn't need FATALITY with me to do that now did I?
Never game without Jonathan's pos graphics card! :rockout:
He feels really dumb now.
my default is 500/667
my current flashed BIOS is 677/866 :)

I Bought this card for my Daughters CPU and it Has been pretty decent upgrade from her old Radeon 9600XT. I payed 99.00 (no Rebate). I Clock it in at 777 Mhz and memory at 987 after I modified the heatsink. I cut the heatsink up into sections so the memory had its own heatsink. the default setup is the heatsink only touches the GPU Core and not the ram. Then I placed Two 80MM Fans over the heatsinks. It looks ugly but who cares it rocks. I runs FEAR at maximum settings accept AA @ 1024x768 it runs Bioshock at Maximum settings @1024x768 also NO AA. and Unreal Tounament III same Settings. This is pluged into a EVGA 630i/7150 PCIe Mainboard with 2Gigs PC667 @ 760Mhz And Pentium D 805 2.66Ghz @ 3.8Ghz. I cant complain. Its not as fast as mine but My daughter Loves it
