I hate to say it, but I wouldn't buy this card for $50. I owned one when they first came out, and that was a big waste of money. The 6600gt I upgraded from was just as fast. The 7800GTX I have now is far, far superior.

DON'T BUY IT!

Card is big & heavy. I opened the package and found VIVO cables. Anyone else verify this is VIVO?

Putting it in a Dell 5150 purchased from outlet.dell.com for $279.00
Bump up the RAM to 2GB and add an NEC 3550A DVD+-RW.... NICE !

Great deal if I get the rebate... (I better or they will get very tired of my daily calls!)

THANKS OP!

dude...the x850xt cannot physically fit in a 5150 ...

I know refrub has been pointed out already but Newegg also has these for $135 + $1 Shipping on their website open box. A better ddeal IMHO but this is pretty dec too. Nice card for a bargain rig.

a $155.00 7600gt will beat this, and overclocked it will beat it buy a lot.

the $170.00 after $30.00 rebate XFX XXX 7600GT 590/1600 will thump it pretty bad.

The 7600GT will have to overcome a lot to beat an X850XT Platinum Edition by a lot

GeForce 7600 GT vs X850XT PE
Core Mhz 560 vs 540
Pixel Shaders 12 vs 16
Mem type 128bit vs 256bit
Vertex Shaders 5 vs 8
Mem bandwidth 22.4Gb/S vs 37.76 GB/s

Good post!
Yeah, the 7600GT is by no means a bad card, but it will not beat the X850XT.

 

[Sonikku]

I second that. The 7600GT has features like Shader 3 and such, but it's hardly powerful enough to push such a feature in modern games anyway. It's advantages are negated where as the X850XT remains faster and cheaper.

Actually, doesn't that show the 7600gt beating the x850xt in 3 of the 4 resolutions?

yup you just reconfirmed what i said the 7600gt beats the x850xt pe, but thoses charts show a x850xt, and not the PE version, I would also assume the 7600gt in running stock speeds on those charts, and the ones i linked to are overclocked like 10% from the factory, so the 7600GT still beats the X850XT PE, 7600GT's are hitting 7500 or higher in 3mark05 on stock cooling easily, you would need a voltage mod and better cooling on a X850TX PE to get up around 7500 in 3dmark05.

At 200 bones(as the ATI rebates are painfully slow) you might as well score a x1800gto/xl....SM 3.0, AVIVO....ect ect

 

[cubeless]

svc has the cooler for it on sale for $10... svc

and a 2.2 a64 w/this card oc'd to 540/1200 gets 6300 3d05 for me... with the noisy fan at full speed and running about 67c...

and melissa at mc is a darlin' who'll help get your rebate... just call mc and they'll sort out your rebate, as long as u did the right things up front...

 

[tbogstad]

also if you have to pay sale tax to Microcenter like i do, the total will be $170.00 after rebate, which is the exact same prices as the xfx XXX 7600gt i linked too, and the xfx would be less shipped and a smaller rebate and a better card too.

this is not bad for If you want a ATi card, but against a 7600gt XXX overclocked at the same price it loses.

Just wanted to post an update -- bought the card april 21 and just got back from a business trip to discover the rebate check, printed may 15! now that was fast. I guess all the complaints about Microcenter-ATI rebates have worked.
