don't go out buying this card. it LOOKS like a good deal, but it only has ddr2 which explains why it's a solid $50 cheaper than other x800 cards.

Instead of thread crapping why don't you try to name a card that's a better deal. Because this is a hell of a bargain that's why.

Only reason they don't use GDDR3 is becuase X800 stock speed is 700 (350) for memory, which is enough with DDR. You may have better overclock for RAM if you get the ones using GDDR3, but I don't think that justifies $ 50 difference.

This IS a good deal contrary to the above thread crap. A 12-pipeline card with good gaming power for $109 after rebate?? Sounds good to me.

I wonder if this beats out the 6600 GT's. But heck, for $113 shipped AR it must be pretty competitive. 12 pipes, 256-bit but with only 128 MB for the RAM. Too bad they can't be SLI'd.

I wonder if I could make a profit by counting on eBayiots to pay an outrageous amount for it. I bet it would go for $140 new on eBay.

Damn my spoiled self;), this is a great deal on a solid card. However, since I have a 7800GT, I just can't force myself to "settle" for a lessor card for my next build;)

i ordered one, and for the lower price.
I will be putting it in a OPTY system with 2gb of ram and at 2.8ghz, i will post the results so we can see just how good these cards are, also i will try to unlock it if possible.
But apparently this gets 4000 in 05 at stock speeds, which crushes everthing up to about $200.00 .
