It is pretty much business as usual, except for how close the ATI RADEON 8500 gets to the GeForce4 Ti4200. The V8460 puts a healthy margin between itself and the rest of the field, the Ti500 clearly falls behind.

3DMark2001SE
MadOnion's Second Edition of 3DMark2001 adds support for DX8.1 and has become the most comprehensive graphics benchmark available with a balanced mixture of bandwidth and GPU intensive applications. The raw final score is interesting but only tells a small part of the story which is why we show the entire gamut of results. The Benchmark setting was 1024 x 768 x 32 bpp, no anti-aliasing.
Overall Score
It is pretty much business as usual, except for how close the ATI RADEON 8500 gets to the GeForce4 Ti4200. The V8460 puts a healthy margin between itself and the rest of the field, the Ti500 clearly falls behind.
Game1 - Car Chase - Low Detail
The V8460 takes the crown but more remarkable with regard to bang for the buck is the performance of the V8420
Game1 - Car Chase - High Detail
At the High Detail level, there is not much difference between any of the Graphics adapters to warrant more than a $5 price delta
Game 2 - Dragothic - Low Detail
A prelude to the themesong for the rest of this review: Nose to nose between the Ti4200 and the RADEON 8500 in performance and price. We left the sequence of the graphics cards constant to make it easier to spot changes in the rankings.
Game 2 - Dragothic - High Detail
The GeForce4 loves high LOD (level of detail) and beats the RADEON 8500 to the punch
