That's a really good deal, brings the pricing of the 5900U in line with what it should be now, at a retail outlet no less.

Makes it a far better deal than the 9800Pro for $300.

$80 more for a 9800? Nah.

BTW- the nV40 must be really close if they're liquidating like this.

Exactly what I was thinking... That's exactly what I paid for my Gainward FX 5900 128MB.

You think you had a bad buy? That's only $40 dollars more than I paid for my 5700u DOH!:Q

 

[Schadenfroh]

meh, you can get a visiontek 9800 pro 256mb with ddr2 for that price at amazon


btw, doesnt PNY suck? i know i have had very bad expierances with their memory, but i have never used their V/C

 

[SneakyStuff]

I've used their memory, and their cards, exclusively, for the past 2 years or so, no problems what-so-ever, and their 5700u overclocks like none-otha!

Yea, this might be an indication.

arrgh.. this always happens AFTER youve bought a new card.

This is misleading at best. The Amazon deal you have to wait over a month to get the freaking card, IF they end up shipping at that price. (they've been known to cancel?)

PNY doesn't suck, they don't make cards. They're rebadge MSI, or at least they were on the GF4s.

 

[SneakyStuff]

They actually do make their own now, they even have purple PCB

 

[nRollo]

In any case, 5900U today > 9800Pro in a month maybe

 

[Zarick]

incredible price on an incredible card that best or matches the 9800pro in almost every benchmark..

Guys, read the thread in hot deals. The part number matches the one for a 5900SE, so it's probably just a mistake.

Exactly, no way this price is accurate.

In addition, you can pick up a 9800 Pro for less than that, albeit OEM, but who the heck cares.

Also....every vendor on pricewatch and our own RealTime engine lists 5900 Ultras as $330 or more, another indication this deal is bullhonkey.

SneakyStuff kisses his 5700U.

haha hardly, I felt like a moron after they released the 5900XT. Oh well, life goes on

 

[modedepe]

People are getting told this is just a price mistake when they go to the store.

Price fixed on this one now, back up to $484

 

[Insomniak]

Oh man...if only I had the money - oh, and Schandenfroh - I've been using 512 MB of PNY PC2100 for about 18 months now, with the timings ratcheted down beyond spec even (2-2-3-6) and haven't had any problems. I dunno, maybe I'm lucky, but I haven't had any problems with their products.

He's probably talking about the 256mb 9800 pro, which is about $300. That would make more sense since he's comparing it to a 256mb 5900.
