Note: Buy.com changed the rebate form to a $20 version but the one I linked is still valid as it's good until 10/31/08.

This deal brought to you by KingB from SlickDeals!

Nice backup card or possibly used for HTPC (with a different cooler possibly).

Get it for $17.50 after rebate and 5% Buy.com coupon.

5% coupon (YMMV).

Nice, would be a great HTPC card!

How's this next to a 7800GT?

I think it's closer to a 7300gs than a 7800GT.

I think it's closer to a 7600GT than a 7800GT.

Tom's video chart.

According to the chart, the 8500 isbelow a 7600GT as well as a 7600 GS . It's in the same group with a 7300GT.

I saw that after I posted. I posted the "guess" of 7600 GT and then found and posted the chart. I forgot to edit that though.

Technically, it's still closer to a 7600GT than a 7800GT though!

Yes, you are correct.

Thanks Op, I needed a backup card.

The 5% off says it is N/A, yet the $2.50 discount shows in total. Net cost to me after rebate was $17.49.

Someone pointed out that www.rebation.com has 10% cashback on Buy.com.

If you go through their link ($5.00) + 5% ($2.50), you could potentially get this card for $12.50. YMMV and good luck!

Remember to use my rebate form linked above (still valid per dates on form) as the Buy.com one has changed.

Buy.com had a HD 2600 Pro 512Meg for the same (or less after cashback) price (around $19.50 AR) but it's dead now so no post on that one. For the record, which one is better, HD 2600PRO 512M or 8500GT 512Meg?
