$1380 for an x1900xtx??? There are $200 cards out there that beat it. It's probably expensive because they stole it from a museum...

It depends on if they are talking about US dollers or some other doller (ie .Austrian dollar,Cayman Islands dollar,etc)

now guys u gotta read the whole thing:

"Prepare your rig for the future of games with the Radeon X1900 XTX the fastest consumer 3D graphics processor on the planet. With its ultra-threaded engine and unparalleled shader performance, the Radeon X1900 XTX delivers maximum graphical detail at incredible frame rates. Then go beyond games with Avivo video and display technology and watch HD movies and digital photos come to life."

after reading that I'm convinced its totally worth it lemme jsut sell my hd 3870's and my presnet rig to finance it.

@ kpo6969 I used to like thsoe cards sadly thye were out of muy price range so I went with a x1900AIW at the time..

Its a new old card. If you look anywhere other than eBay that card new is going to be jacked up. They no longer make them and its a trend with some old parts. If you are a dude that doesn't know any better and has an OEM x1900xtx and needs to replace it you might be suckered in.

An OEM Tach for my 1992 Honda Nighthawk is $500. A TACH! I refuse to replace it and the used ones go for $250 which are impossible to find.

Don't mock Computer Giants. I bought alot of legacy server parts from them when I was at my previous job. I got some Dell server hard drives for $300 when Dell wanted $700 for them. They aren't all bad.
