    Dscaler rocks. Is the latest version better than version 3. I no longer have my TV Wonder, would have been no use here I think.

      That may be the case with bba cards but definitly not with the club3d radeon 8500le and 9000 series of cards that in my opinion have worse 2d iq then a old asus gfart1's !
      According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless...

        2D of the Powercolor Radeon 9000 is horrible as well.

          If you take a Radeon you should go with either a BBA (maybe overall the best choice), a Hercules or a Sapphire.

              Dogbert's right on the software. It's poop. They came out with new drivers, but have the audacity to charge for them. Dscaler works without drivers and its quite good. I do have WDM drivers for the card though.

                BTW, be mindfull that the 8500DV (64MB) is clocked lower than other 8500's. It's clocked at 230core/190mem, I think.

                    Resurrecting an older thread....

                    How are the gigabyte boards? They seem to be one of the few 8500 boards with proper independent dual displays. The BBA, Hercules, & most others don't do that.

                    I think I'm holding off for a 9500 anyway. Should be a couple more weeks, comdex by the latest.

                      The BBA Radeon cards DO have proper DualView with two RamDACs.
