[Vonkhan]

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

how'd u chek on the number left anywayz?

 

[lamchop9]

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

How do you check how many are left at newegg?

 

[lamchop9]

How does the 8500 compare to my geforce2 mx400?

 

[Vonkhan]

the 8500 will blow u far far far FAR away ... hang on to ur stocking Dorthy, GeForce2 MX400 is going a bye-bye!

 

[weepul]

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.

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.

 

[Vonkhan]

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!

 

[lamchop9]

My 2000FP has been craving a DVI card for some time.

 

[tsl99]

Does it come with other accessories, such as cable..remote stuff?

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

Yup, the 8500 IS the 9100. LOL.

The 8500DV is clocked much lower than the original 8500.

 

[Karsten]

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

 

[gxsoon]

Question: what is the difference between 8500 and 8500DV other than 8500DV being slower? What the DV stands for? Digital Video?

 

[Vonkhan]

the DV has a lot more multimedia features tho

... DV = digital video, dunno, duncare

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!
