Get em here! I have a question to. On my Sapphire Radeon 8500LE 128MB should I download the built by ATI drivers or the powered by ATI drivers? Is there a difference?

Just ATI drivers and control panel are all I see. I am not sure if this link works.

Edited; I see where you found them, I believe you can download Built by ATI not Powered by ATI. No 8500LE in list under Powered by ATI.

Well on there main page there's 2 links, one for find built by ati drivers and one for find powered by ati drivers. I'm useing win98, as you can now see in my sig. Does anyone know which drivers I should use??? (Built by or powered)?

 

Get built by ATI, 8500LE is in list at
http://mirror.ati.com/support/index.html
and 8500LE wasnt in Powered by ATI.

Built by is a true ATI card.

Powered by is for OEM solutions.

 

ok, so, 'built by ati' drivers for my sapphire radeon 8500le 128mb then?

 

Come on, please? Johner gave me an answer, but I don't know if he's right since the 8500 drivers are the same as the LEs. is there a difference between built by ATI drivers and powered??? What is it? I'm retty sure Sapphire is a powered by ATI brand, plus it says powered by ATI on my vid card fan. But is there a dfference in performance between the 2 drivers?

 

Ok, i went with powered, they seem to be fine, i hav't tried benchen yet, but, whatever.

 

Well I dont camp the forum, but, yes you chose the correct ones.

Powered by would be non ATI brands, such as Sapphire.

 

Correct

 

Max Powerz, What they mean by built by Ati and powered by Ati is that built by ati is an actual card that is built by ati, and powered by ati is when a company uses Ati's graphic chip but uses their own card, like PNY or another graphics card manufacturer. I hope this clears it up a little for ya.
