this is hot...

It's good to see our people verifying these great deals, instead of shameless self-promotions from their employee's. If its really hot then they deserve the recommendations.

I realize that I am a newbie on this site, but aren't buyxtremegear posts banned because they're so bad (disreputable) and they were posting deals themselves...?
This would be good for a pricematch with Chase LPG though...

Buyxtremegear deals posted by new members were banned because they were promoting themselves which is a no-no here. It's ok for someone who has been around here for a while to post a deal if they think it is a good one.

As hot as the deal may be, don't think I'd be buying from them given their business ethics.

gameVE.com has the same prices and they are bigger than XGgear. I would buy from them instead.

O sweet, gameve is pretty reliable, got my GFti4200 from them. Um, still though even though it is a hot price I'd rather upgrade my processor and motherboard to something better before a new graphic card. Also a lack of cash/money. :(
Always am. Now Intel or AMD lol. I like AMD a lot better, but if I can score a cheap Intel with hyperthreading w/ 800mhz bus then I would get that. Maybe in half a year I will upgrade.

I empathize with some of you about the price of video cards. Compared to a month ago, this video card is now $150 cheaper. Yet, it's still more expensive than most CPU/mobo combos (at least for AMD processors). You can score almost 3 Barton 2500+ for the price of this FX 5900. Kinda makes me sick thinking about it. :disgust:

Well I actually had a pretty crappy experience with GameVE...I RMAed a video card and although they did send a replacement, even though I sent back the driver CD, and the PowerDVD CD, plus the accessories, they sent me back JUST THE CARD. Even said CARD ONLY on the receipt even though I had RMAed everything. I called up to complain and some dude said he'd see what they could do but they did JACK SQUAT. I hope they rot in hell.

nahh the accessories are pretty important... like the DVI - VGA adapter... and the VIVO cables... you'd have to pay quite a bit to buy those back...
It was very wrong for gameve to just ignore him.....
though he deserves it now for spamming :D

Consider the fact that the gainward and abit 5900s will plainly smoke this one when overclocking... Because they use non-reference cooling. I won't buy a 5900 w/ ref cooling, unless maybe it's an Ultra... Although gainward mods even their ultra a little bit.
