8500 gt driver download review

As with any graphics card installation, no special tools are required. Depending on your case, the only tool you may need is a Phillips screw driver. If your case utilizes tool-less technology, then obviously you won't need any tools. Personally, I always secure add ons with screws, as this ensures a solid connection. The first thing you will want to do is unplug your computer from your surge protector or duplex wall plug. After that, pull off the case side, disconnect the external power cord (if it has one) from the old graphics card, and pull it out of its slot. Next, you will want to find the PCI-E slot and plug the PNY 8500GT 512MB PCIe into it. Carefully snap it into place and secure it in. Don't worry about plugging the external power into the PNY 8500GT 512MB PCIe; it doesn't have this feature. Replace the case side and then connect your monitor to the DVI or VGA outlet at the back of your case.
Installing the drivers is easy. Turn your computer on and place the VGA Driver CD that came with the graphics card into the CD-ROM drive. After a few seconds, the main menu appears and simply follow the on-screen instructions.
Click on "Install Drivers" and the next screen you will see is the Windows XP Drivers Notice - click "Install Windows XP Drivers". The next screen will ask you to choose 32-bit or 64-bit. Choose the one you have. Don't worry about the next screen you see. What it's saying is that Windows XP is not sure if it is compatible with the operating system (it is). Click "Continue Anyway" and your computer will now chug along doing its thing and then will finally ask you to restart, so go ahead and do so (don't forget to go to PNY's website and download the latest drivers).
Company of Heroes v1.7 (Vista 32-bit) The latest patch for this game was downloaded and used for the testing. Unfortuantely we could not get the DX10 shaders working on all cards so we decided for this article to use the High-setting for Shaders (DX9).
Regardless what we think of it there are some things that need to be present for the HD-playback to work fine in Vista. Both the playback device and the display device need to support HDCP (copy protection) so that no-one can take the signal and copy it. The Gigabyte 8500GT TurboForce card has this HDCP support making it possible to hook it up to a HDCP-capable display and see HD-movies in their full resolution.
Features The Gigabyte 8500GT TurboForce comes packed with features. DX10 support, 16x AA, Shader 4.0 support, everything the 8800GTX has you can find on the 8500GT. Unfortunately the Gigabyte 8500GT TurboForce GPU lacks the performance to take advantage of most of these features. Luckily other features like HDCP support and the active fan work fine regardless of the GeForce 8600GT GPU.Rating: 6/10
Gaming Performance The Gigabyte 8500GT TurboForce slots in between the HD2400XT and the HD2600XT while coming far behind the GeForce 8600GT. As a on-board video upgrade it works fine and you can actually get decent performance from older games if you turn down the quality settings and resolution. I am not sure how it will handle the future games though. Rating: 5/10
Build Quality The Gigabyte 8500GT TurboForce is very well built. Details like the solid capacitors and the covers on each connector make this feel like a high quality product. Rating: 8/10
Value I have had some problems locating the card to get a price. Vendors still only seem to carry the regular Gigabyte 8500GT at around $80. I would expect this card to be a bit pricier, especially since it so higher clocked. As a gamer card there is not much value even at this price. You should be able to find a HD2600XT for roughly the same price and by adding 30-40$ you could get a GeForce 8600GT card. As a HTPC card it offers more value but at the same time for the same money you could get a HDCP capable HD2600Pro or HD2600XT which also includes audio-over-HDMI support. These cards also run much cooler.Rating: 6/10
Summary: Gigabyte has done a good job with the GeForce 8500GT GPU. They overclocked it, added a nice fan and bundled the card with a good game. Unfortunately the 8500GT GPU itself is quite slow so this limits what magic Gigabyte can do with it as well as limits the target audience. As an upgrade to on-board video or as a card in a high-end HTPC, the Gigabyte 8500GT TurboForce however works well. The only caveat is that the cards get hot so good ventilation is needed in the case.

Drivers in both Windows 7 and Windows 8 installed without any major surprises (although we had to use the Windows 7 wireless driver since no Windows 8 driver was listed) and the system was rock solid using any GPU or RAM combination. The only driver issue we saw was in Linux. Until we installed the AMD video driver, we had some minor video artifacting. Once we got the driver in, however, the artifacting disappeared completely. So if you are installing Linux on this motherboard, don't panic when you see video corruption until after you have the video driver installed.
The MSI FM2-A75IA-E53 motherboard has a few blemishes but overall passes our qualification process. The main problems are the lack of a DVI video port, only a single internal USB 2.0 header, the poor location of the 4-pin ATX power header, and the unpolished Winki software that is needed for some unimportant BIOS features. The BIOS itself has everything you would expect, including mouse support, overclocking profiles and the ability to update the BIOS from a USB key. Drivers installed with no problems in Windows, and while we had to use a beta video driver in Ubuntu, that is more of an AMD problem than a MSI driver issue.
