Which is better geforce 8500gt 1gig or 9500gt 512mb?

bro, hinay kaayo na 8500 gt... go for 9500gt 512... and much better kung kato 512 nga gddr3 bro...

the 8500GT is like a 7300GT in terms of speed while the 9500GT is supposedly a little bit faster than the 8600GT (ddr2). go figure

the one with the higher RAM will always be better. in the case of the 9500gt you will only notice the difference with the redraw functions but a higher RAM will always translate to a better buffering, thus speed will be much more noticeable specially in games

This is only true if you are comparing the same chips with different memory sizes.
Example: 9500GT 512MB vs 9500GT 1GB

But, it will be another story if your comparing different chips.
Example: 8500GT with 1GB of memory is no match to 8800GTX with only 768MB of memory.

look first into the chip used then on the amount of memory.
know the chips number of shader cores, core clocks, shader clocks, memory clocks, ROPs, memory interface, texture fillrate,..etc
see reviews and benchmarks, then decide.

8500gt is weak compared to 9500gt even if the latter has 1gb mem. i have tried those 2 videocards and the difference is noticeable specially with the new games

even a 100gb 8500gt, superficially speaking, is still inferior to the 512mb 9500 gt... it's never about the memory in the first place, no questions asked.

9500gt is faster than 8500gt. check,
