If you don't mind a little bios flashing. I would opt for a GT02 or Connect 3d GTO and do a flash into the same card for alot less. Add CA tax to that $361 card its near $400.:)


Warm. (esp since 7800GT is $299 after MIR)

But, has there been an x850xt agp, previously?
OP, I'm surprised no one had busted you about the lack of a link.

TigerDirect.com has it for $300. It's actually $330 - $30 rebate. It's the 3dFuzion brand which is BFG's value line. Some people have suggested that BFG might be "binning" gpu's and cards and sending the ones that don't overclock well to the 3dFuzion line, which only comes with a 1 year warranty.

Dell has had the BFG 7800GT for approx 315 or so at least 2 or 3 times. But not in AGP.
Personally I would opt for the few extra bucks and buy the 7800. But thanks OP.

If this card still had a 3-year warranty, it would be worth the extra $$$ over a GTO/GTO2 at $200 that is unlockable. But since ATI changed their warranty effective on purchases after 8-31-05, the warranty isn't better than anyone else (it's 1-year PLUS you have to register within 30 days), there's no sense in paying more for a BBA over a 3rd party.
