"Since Guru3D (and we do say this with a little shame) never reviewed a GeForce 8500 to date they gladly accepted the offer of ECS to submit such a card to them for a review. So in house today a graphics card that I'd probably never would buy, a GeForce 8500 GT. But fact is; it's probably one of the cheapest graphics cards money can buy.

This is Guru3D, so they had to at the very least a little exorbitant and opted the 512MB model, hey it's still priced only ~80 EUR including that amount of memory. And low-end or not... I must say I had a hell of a good time with this card. Overclocking and tweaking was so much fun... we boosted roughly 30% more performance out of this card... easily."
