That's the card I bought from the place I bought it. At least if it <A HREF="http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=440381#440381" target="_new">looks like mine</A>, they pay return shipping and refund all your money. Buy.com rules; just test the card well before cutting that UPC. :wink:

I'd forgotten about that post. You got it at an even sweeter price than the $133. Was yours a refurb?

BTW that X800Pro VIVO you linked is now $269.

No mine was new sealed retail box and also had a rebate ($30 I think) It was a great deal, I forget exactly how much. But your link + a 10% buy.com coupon code would be close or better even. For that price and from Buy.com I'd buy that card if I needed one. Can't go wrong for that price and from that site.

That's kinda disappointing coming from an XFX card. I thought better of their products. I've got a 9800Pro right now that is limited by the CPU a 1500+. I'm going overseas in Jun so I'm going to upgrade right before I head out. :smile:

BTW, you got the card for $117. This one would be $120 with the 10% coupon! That was an AWESOME deal you got!

LOL, photographic memory or just good with the searching? It was a great deal, but in the end didn't do much for me did it. :tongue:

Yeahhh..definitely 296 toothpicks...yeah

The price you paid was in the link you posted! It was worth a shot at a great deal. Why didn't you get a replacement card for that price?

I would have lost the rebate during the process as they wanted to do a return and have me reorder. I didn't want the card bad enough to buy it without the rebate so I just returned it. I didn't need it, but could easily unload it and make a few bucks in a build. Or just kept it and sold a 9800 pro.
