I was about to post this!

The 3850 served me well for 5 months, until i upgraded to my 4830 this week. It was an awesome card for the $$. I spent $99 on it. Now my 4830 cost me $99 🙂
 
how does this compare to the past deals of 8800GS for $50.00 AR and 9600GSO for $50.00 AR???

I got in on both those deals.

Without knowing how loud your other components are and the noise floor of your room, I'd still wager a "no". I'd only count on passively cooled GPUs for HTPC environment (with an optional low-flow 120mm fan blowing over it).
 
All gone........that was a good deal.

tbogstad: This card is a few frames slower/few frames faster on some games compared to the 8800GS/9600GSO at standard resolutions, but that gap widens with higher resolutions (1680x1050 and up). I'd go for the the nVidia flavor if FPS were your main concern.
 
Argh, too late.

The massive cooler on that thing was worth at least half that cost by itself.
