Awesome X1950XT deal

[SEALBoy]

Right here.

ATi just obliterated any reason to buy the 8600GTS. This card walks all over the 8600GTS in terms of performance, and is significantly cheaper too.

Pretty nice.

8O Wow, nice find.

 

[Anoobis]

Yeah. I saw that a day or two ago. Very tempting but the X1800XT still runs strong for me.

Nice. If I wasnt waiting on the HD2900XT I would be ordering one right now instead of typing this.

should i go for this deal?? i m planning to get 8800gts 320mb ver., just waiting the price to go down to around $240~, i m building a new pc, i hv 22inch lcd, and ozc 700w gamestream ps. i know the 8800gts 320mb isnt good enough for larger lcd. i think the 8800gts overpriced. amd/ati should do something about it!!! like now!!

Heck, the X1950XT is such a powerful card, there's almost no reason to buy any card cheaper unless one is on an extremely tight budget.

For all practical purposes, there's only 4 groups of video cards to bother with.

Low End: 7600GT or X1650XT

Mid / High End: X1950XT

High End: 8800GTS 320MB

Ubber High End: 8800GTX

Ahh, HD2900XT, where are you?

damnn you don't see this card that often online anymore.

 

[SEALBoy]

You see the card often enough, just not at this price.

The 8800GTS 320MB is an excellent deal if you have $250+. It's by no means overpriced, although it won't come down to $240 for another few months. If you can't wait that long, then, yes, this is what you should get (unless you're dying to play Crysis in DX10). Invest the money you saved into something else (say, a faster CPU, or a Zalman or Tuniq cooler for overclocking).

Good find man... Anything less than getting a 8800GTS 320.. Is basically ATi... There are a few MIRs that sway price in favor of nvidia.. But it seems that unless u are gonna buy an 8800, or are gonna SLI.. ATi is the way to go

NICE Sapphire makes an awesome card. Its a good deal if you can't afford the 8800GTS 320mb.
