Open box OEM. 😀

make sure you have a 6 pin adapter/wire to power this hard, cuz that won't come with OEM version

u better pick up a video cooler while ur at it, cuz that thing is loud as hell

 

[mr9865]

It just shipped, Can't wait to get it.

careful with these refurbs. This card runs very hot and isn't cooled very well. These refurbs are most likely defects of some cooling problem. I've had to return 3 of these things because they got so hot with stock cooling they'd just reboot. Great card when it works.

Also the retail version comes with a ton of different nice adapters and cords, especially for the vivo version.

good luck

great performance but runs very hot and is VERY noisy. I just sold mine (along with my whole computer)

I'd suggest getting a 7800gt for like $20 more or just wait till black Friday and pick up a 7950 free AR 😛

but seriously the x850xt is out dated but if you're on a budget and need a card ASAP (and don't care about noise) scoop this up...for the time being

where are 7800gt's for $120 and who is selling the 7950gt free AR on black friday?

 

[mr9865]

yeah i was on a 300 dollar budget for the whole system, i ended up going over by 13 lol

Yea, I was going to say... why the hell would this guy replace his 7900 GTO with a X850XT?

Thats impressive cost control building a system for $313

This still is a very nice card. I do strongly recommend picking up an Arctic Cooler ATI Silencer 5 Rev. 2 for it. svc.com has them for a good price. It makes it MUCH quieter and gives quite some extra overclocking potential.

ill look into it, i just fliped a 3000+ from here that wouldn't oc on ebay and made 15 bucks so i have some exta cash to spend
