Since I have access to both a 9200SE and an 8500 (but not a 9000 or 9200, unfortunately), I decided to run a quick benchmark with the cards using ut2003. With the Inferno Flyby, I got the following results with the 9200:
5.294707 / 14.600776 / 133.766464 fps rand[1951333785] Score = 14.621037 With the 8500: 6.049539 / 16.863998 / 157.929214 fps rand[1951333785] Score = 16.860273 An average of about 2 fps higher with the 8500. This is with DRI cvs from about a week ago (the 12th, I think), with the software DXTn compression library. Dual 1 gig, P3, 512 megs RAM.
