Ati Radeon 9000 Driver Download Windows 7
Radeon 8500 numbers are from a test using the official WinXP 6071 drivers; the 9000 Pro was tested using the Catalyst 2.1 drivers. Both NVIDIA cards were tested with the 28.32 official reference drivers and I don't have the cards available to re-run the tests with the newer 29.42 drivers. The Xabre 400 board was tested using driver version 3.03.51, the latest 'performance driver' build on the Xabre website.

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of results from different cards run on Shark Mark yet, and numbers for Chameleon Mark with AA enabled are equally lacking. However, you can see here the immediate improvement the Radeon 9000 has over the 8500 here, coming (comparatively) much closer to the speed of a Ti4200 as far as pixel shader performance is concerned, although it still didn't properly run the 'glass' texture test. Even with the new drivers, though, the Xabre couldn't complete these tests.
The 9000 keeps ahead of both the MX440 and the Xabre card here, but can't really touch the 8500. This is very likely an effect of the lesser texturing capabilities of the 9000. And no, you're not hallucinating: the 3.03.51 drivers finally allowed me to run Serious Sam on the Xabre card, albeit with some decreased quality settings that couldn't be increased to higher levels. But that's a big improvement from before, when it didn't work at all.
As far as retail prices go, you just can't beat this. Radeon 8500 and 8500LE are being phased out, and they're the only possible competition Radeon 9000 could have in its price range. Xabre cards still don't seem to be available in the US (and they've still got driver issues anyways), the GeForce 4 MX series doesn't have a hope of being able to use DirectX 8 features, and Ti4200 cards are still a bit too pricey at retail.
The very first (and very rudimentary) open-source Xorg driver for the ATI Radeon X1000 "R500" series has been released! However, before downloading it, this driver only contains code to initialize and set video modes on the Radeon X1300 to X1600 graphics cards. RandR 1.2 support for the R500 driver is being worked on and may surface shortly. Their current road-map is for getting the Radeon X1600 to X1900 series initialize using this driver, add the RandR 1.2 support, add simple 2D acceleration, work on R500 3D reverse engineering, and implement TTM DRM for memory management. Today's first open-source driver release for the R500 series is available through git on FreeDesktop.org. As this driver progresses we will provide additional information and ultimately benchmarks. The release announcement can be read on the Xorg list.
With Fedora Core 6 coming out tomorrow, over at the Redblog I have published a patch to allow the latest ATI fglrx drivers (8.29.6) to run successfully on FC6. This patch is needed in order for the RPMs to build correctly, and a how-to guide is available that documents all of the steps needed to setup the drivers. Simply download the script from the blog, and if all development libraries are installed, the script will automatically update the packaging scripts and take care of everything. This should allow for a much smoother upgrade experience. The blog entry can be read here.
