30 days to find the best card for $225.00

[Hauk]

I'm itching for a new card, and will upgrade in a month or so. I just read Anandtech's latest video card review of the 9600XT. In the article, they mention a 5700 Ultra coming out.

I was seriously considering a used 9700 Pro retail; but if Nvidia can put something on the table for $200.00 that will beat it...

What to do??

Where can you find the 9700 Pro for 200 bucks, tell me.

I don't know about the reliability of XtremeGear but how about a 5900 for $230?

GameVe.com has it for $235, are they reliable?

Cripes, even Newegg has it cheap.

OK, but you can't beat Newegg.

Thank you Maddscientist, I have learned my lesson. Sorry 'bout that.

All in good fun

I sold mine to a buddy for $225 back in June when I bought my 5800.

Consider the 9800np at Best Buy for $239. I bought one, and even with Infineon ram I've got it clocked up there with 9800 pro speeds.

Go with the 9700 or the 5900. The 5700 will not even touch either of them

Well i guess the 5700 might actually not suck from what i read over at hexus. Beats teh 9600XT in lots of things. I would wait to use both first though before i actually bought one. But what about the 9600 AIW?

 

[bunnyfubbles]

"lots of things", it isn't even out yet. Oh and 9700 > 9600 Pro/XT by far, so even if the 5700 is faster than the 9600XT in everything it wouldn't matter because it'd have to be faster and then some to compete with the 9700.
