Extra super hot for those with an AGP slot. Might wanna put this into hot deals.

Only slight coldness is it's BBA, so only a 1 year warranty.

This should be posted in hot deals section first off, and also despite its specs listed as X850XT PE it could be just a X850XT(not sure but you should call to verify). Im not even gonna get into the fact that you double posted....

Or that it's 300 now... I'm thinking it was a typo.

EDIT: It's non-PE.

Still shows as $299 for me, with $50 rebate. But I'd pay tax.

Specs are weird. 520 core, 540 ram is closer to 520 core, 560 ram for XT PE vs 500/500 for XT. Duno, man.

Sitting here, with finger over the buy button, waffling.

Really good deal. A $250 X850XT PE is basically unbeatable for those with AGP-based systems.

great price. buy now instead of waiting a week for a 6800gs. this is faster

That's a standard x850xt, with 520 core clock, 540 memory clock. This is not an x850xt pe (540 core, 587 memory), and will end up being about the same speed as an x800xt pe (520 core, 560 memory).

Yep... but with the 50 MIR it's still cheaper than a x800xt... the cheapest I've seen is 275 so far... and can't you flash it/overclock it anyway? And doesn't it also have the x850xtpe cooler... same max capabilities?

You should edit the title to reflect the fact that it's an XT and not an XTPE. Still a great find though.

This has been posted many times. I don't think it's a stretch to overclock it to XT PE speeds, they're just slightly faster anyway.
