*OOS* ATI AIW Radeon 8500DV OEM at NewEgg for $109

heheh, i got me a AIW 9700Pro for $267 :heart: :heart: :heart:

how'd u chek on the number left anywayz?
 
Advice for this card? I wanted a TV Tuner, and have been shopping around for the ATI TV WONDER VE (which is around $30). The card I have now is an ASUS GF2 MX400. I also have a 2000FP that has been used without DVI. I'm not a big time gamer, so I'm wondering if this card is good enough for my use.

I figure if I was going to spend $30 on the Tuner anyway, might as well spend $79 more to get DVI out and a card with better gaming power.
 
the DV is good but not awesom for gaming performance anymore and its gonna become a dinosaur pretty soon. Invest in a 9500 if u can, atleast a 9100
 
the 8500 will blow u far far far FAR away ... hang on to ur stocking Dorthy, GeForce2 MX400 is going a bye-bye!
 
to chk how many are left @ newegg, add it to your cart, punch in 99 into quantity and click update. it'll automatically change to 99 or how many's left.

Thanks, that's all I needed to hear. 🙂 One left now. Tick....Tick....Tick..
 
Just a word of caution, this is a refurbished item and does not come with the dvi to vga adapter, so if you have a standard analog monitor this wont work.
 
DVI-VGA adaptor costs $8 w/ free shipping, no biggie. If u ask on the FS/T forum, u'll get one for cheaper. heck, I'll give u one for cheaper too!

I thought the 9100 was an 8500, am I wrong?

Yup, the 8500 IS the 9100. LOL.

 
For gaming this is not a Hot deal. For someone that works and uses it as TV or Video Edeting this is a great card still!

what he said 😀

theres a big diffreence in gaming between the AIW 8500 128MB and the AIW 8500DV
 
Question: what is the difference between 8500 and 8500DV other than 8500DV being slower? What the DV stands for? Digital Video?

Not only does it not come with the adapter, it doesn't come with ANYTHING. I got one earlier this week, and though the liner only specifies "No DVI to VGA adapter," it's a bare card (plus, on my invoice, it indicates a "RTL" (Retail) card). I was pretty pissed about it. Why not just leave it at "OEM/Bare Card?" Any other information insinuates it's only missing the one item.

Be warned!
