800xl AGP @ BB

[classy]

I was in BB here in Jerzee and they had the 800XL agp version for the msrp of $349. Don't know if any reviews are out on it yet, but it should be a very nice card. Hopefully it will go on sale soon .

Good ol' Worst Buy, picking up on inflated demand and tacking 50 bucks onto the MSRP...

Only they would make buying direct from the manufacturer more appealing.

Wait, MSRP is 299 for these cards? Wow the ATI website must be wrong stating its 349.99.. oh man ATI is doing the same thing.. tacking on 50 bucks to their OWN MSRP!!!! Great catch there bucko.

I was in the BB in Lawrence, KS, and I know they had the AGP x800xl tagged for 299. It could be a mistag, but I've never seen them carry the pci-e version before, so I don't know where they would have gotten the tag. I'll go back and check today, and let you know. If anyone sees the same thing at another BB, please let me know, so I know I"m not crazy.

Yeah, it was a mistag. Oh well.

Keep in mind AGP version is slower in some situations than its PCIe brother.

I saw the same ATI branded AGP card at BB yesterday in Louisiana...of all places...at $349 as well. I was waiting to see reviews of the AGP version of this card, but when Outpost dropped the PNY 6800GT to $299 I could wait no more

Really? Could you link some relevant info - I'm interested in this card.

That's the only review I've seen for AGP version so far. The test results indicate both cards show about the same performance in most games, but AGP bersion is much slower in Chronicles of Riddick. Pity they used faster CPU on their PCIe rig so it's impossible to tell the exact performance hit.
