Wow, what a price; It's less than half the lowest pricewatch price on a X850Xt AGP now.

pauldh · Mar 1, 2006

AGP, I wish.; It's PCI-e. If it was AGP I would have ordered 20 of them before posting this link. EBAY here I come.

Zing!

Nice find, paul...

Wait a darn minute! Even my 9600PRO cost more than that!

pauldh · Mar 1, 2006

Yeah, I can see without clicking the link that my post could be confusing. I rushed submitting it to answer a phone call. But, Nowhere did I say it was AGP, I said it was half the price of any AGP X850XT on pricewatch(which would include Newegg). My points were, 1) great price for such a card, and 2) less than half the price of the AGP version.

pauldh · Mar 1, 2006

I have the urge to purge my home LAN of AGP systems. The price/performance/availability of PCI-e compared to AGP is just killing me. I want to buy this X850XT, but no need right now.

FlyGuy · Mar 1, 2006

Damn, that is a smokin' price. Wish I had PCIe too. :x

I got one of them the hood serves me quite well.

Amazing... they had refurbs for that price last week, and now they have NIB for the same price. That really is an amazing deal. I can't wait to upgrade my computer this summer; hopefully the 6800GS and X850XT will still be floating around.

Hey, I have a question for y'all. This is in regards to ATi- does the warranty apply to whoever owned the card when the box was opened, or does it only apply to the person who first bought it from a retailer?

I know with BFG cards (lifetime warranty) the warranty is not transferrable. I believe EVGA offers a lifetime warranty as well but it is transferrable. Don't know for ATI specifically but I'd guess on the side of caution and say it's only for the original purchaser.

Actually only 160

... 175 and $15 dollar rebate.

nannerla · Mar 2, 2006

I wish it was instock I might have to reconsider that 6800gs I was looking at.

$5 shipping

HardWareBoss · Mar 2, 2006

What really stinks. More people have AGP rigs than PCI-e. You would think they would cut the prices on AGP. Since all the new rigs being made are PCI-e.

sweatlaserxp · Mar 2, 2006

God, it's still there, teasing me... must.. not.. buy.. it.. lol.

pauldh · Mar 2, 2006

I fully understand the temptation. If that had been Zipzoom with no NJ sales tax and free shipping ($160 total) I would have bought one even though I have no use for it now. But for me in NJ it's about $175 after having to mail a rebate, which oddly is enough for me to not buy. :? :roll:

Here's another card I just want to buy to have in stock for a build. I already have this card. But at $90 for those lucky enough to not have sales tax, it's just another example of why to go PCI-e. I tell ya, I am going to start losing sleep over the price differences compared to AGP

sturm · Mar 2, 2006

anyone know what the difference is between the sr and L model numbers is?

Friend just bought one and not sure which one he got.

pauldh · Mar 2, 2006

Hey, good find. The SR is a better deal and it's still in stock. Probably just the L is a lite package...light on software bundle. The SR has 2 full games bundled with it and is just $5 more.

TunaSoda · Mar 2, 2006

I have the X850XT and I wish I had something better...

sweatlaserxp · Mar 3, 2006

awww, poor thing... I'll take it off your hands. I'll give you ten bucks toward your upcoming 7900 card.

Holy shit, 88.25 for a x800, I need to hit the bank and order this. Damn fine deal for that card.

pauldh · Mar 3, 2006

$100 GF6800 256MB clocked 325/600 though. With these pci-e prices, Now we need cheap S939 Semprons for under $100 for some nice upgradeable budget builds. Or just go S754 with an A64 3000+, but with little cpu upgrade options.

TunaSoda · Mar 3, 2006

What have you been smoking? THe X850XT is still a very good card and can run most games at max settings no problem.

This card seems quite underpowered even running HL1, and I run it at 540/590
