Hi there,
I built a new system back in June but decided to wait on getting a video card for a bit. I'm thinking of getting one now unless there is evidence the next generation of ATI cards will come out before Half-Life 2 (not likely).
I bought all the components for my system from a local vendor because they offer 7 day cash back and one year in store exchange warranty (as long as they are stocking the item still). However, their prices on video cards are noticably higher than others I've seen online (e.g. the 5900 FX Ultra 256meg for $779 or $799 CAD plus tax, I've seen the Chaintech for as low as $610 CAD).
I'm wondering if anyone can give me tips on a good mail order source for video cards in Canada? http://www.atic.ca has some really nice prices on 5900 (ultra and non) and 9800 (ultra and non) but I've heard bad things about them and their ordering process is really stupid (faxing a copy of your cc or something, come on guys it's 2003 get a good webserver backend going).
I'm thinking of a 128meg 5900 non ultra because it seems every single card allows the core to be OC'd to ultra levels. Or maybe a Saphire 9800 non pro they seem to be doing good as well.
Thanks.
