Just got back from Circuit City, they had the Radeon VE Dual Display Edition 32MB DDR AGP listed for $129.99 plus they were advertising a $30 MIR. When they rang it up, it rang up as $99.99 plus I still get a rebate, final cost, $69.99 for a retail card.

<< Link doesn't work? >>


That's right because the links at CC are dynamic and apply to the session only. You'll have to head over to the Circuit City site: CC Site, select Computer Peripherals and Accessories, then head for the video card section. You will see the Radeon VE for $99.99 before a $20 rebate whic is good between 6/1/2001 and 7/31/2001.

On a side note, I saw this card being sold at the computer show yesterday by one vendor for $119.00 - I guess that's why nobody was purchasing from this individual.

They also have a $20 rebate on their $129.99 PCI Radeon. They say &quot;ATI Radeon SDR 32MB PCI Video Card with Video Out Capability&quot; -- does that mean this is a TV out card? IS $110 after rebate a good deal?

I'm looking for a PCI card to drive 3 monitors... or 2 monitors + TV out...

Thanks.

ATI also has a $30 rebate for All In Wonder &amp; Radeon PCI, so it would drop the price to $80 for the Radeon PCI. Not too shabby :)

The rebate for Radeon sdr pci is $30, and I don't think it supports 2 monitors and tv out is s-video. anybody 2 confirm?

Where are you guys finding a $30 rebate for the PCI card?

No, the PCI Radeo for $129.00 does NOT support dual monitors. However, being a PCI card, you can put MULTIPLE cards in the same computer. This is the main reason to purchase PCI cards (those with obsolete motherboards not supporting AGP should get a new motherboard).

One AGP with Maxtrox or ATI dual-card, plus one PCI card = support for 3 monitors on one system!

I currently have this on my system using a Matrox G400 Dual Head AGP + Matrox Mistique PCI card. Windows 2000...

Not sure how well the ATI drivers allow for a 3-monitor setup like this, but I'm getting one of each and going to give it a try.

perhaps it was their win2k drivers, but when i gave the VE a whirl, Windows performance sucked. I'm sticking with my Viper 2 and my two Stealth S540s for now...

At any rate, $70 is a good deal for the retail DDR version

Does it have problems with win2k?
I need better multiple monitor support than my G400.

Rally one,

My rebate receipt is for $30, not $20. Final price is $69, not $79. I didn't find this online, maybe the BM is different.

cool, guess where i am off to ;)


edit:

I hate you guys. I went there to buy it for the machine I am making for my buddy (should call it the hot-deals machine), and I have to buy one for myself........ the Viper II (scary) will be handed off to the PII for a TV box. So ended up walking out of there with two (seperate receipts for rebate)

sweet deal thanks (i think ;) )

Newegg has this card for $75 w/o MIR if I'm not mistaken. I think it's worth $6 or $7 to me not to have to deal with the MIR.

$75 + 8 + tax wait till next week, OEM card = NewEgg

ATI RADEON VE 32MB DDR DUAL VGA DISPLAY with 2 VGA Out and one TV Out OEM - Brown Box The RADEON VE chip features a highly integrated display architecture including two integrated DACs and CRT controllers, integrated support for DVI (Digital Flat Panel) resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 and integrated TV-Out. (no S-video to Composite cable!)

Cheaper and better and faster to get it from CircuitCity.

Love the card, i'm not a big gamer so it is perfect for me, my Hauppage WinTV-D ($50 ;) ) works perfect with this card in Win2k.

Oh.. Sorry. I was so busy finding out if it was the same card, that I didn't realize that it was an OE and not a retail box.

The $8 shipping is about what I pay in tax for a $100 product. The big difference is that the CC deal is for the retail box. I still hate MIR though. I have yet to receive a few from '97. I'm still hoping though. ;)

PS. What is the difference between a OE or brown box and retail package on a video card anyway?

This card has troubles with the VIA chipset--otherwise it's great. An alternative for dual display that I went with was the WinFast GeoForce 2 MX Pro. It works great with the VIA chipset.

Usually, the OEM card may not include the same software bundle, but should include basic drivers on CD-Rom. The OEM card may not contain all of the cables - if the card had a Video In / Video Out solution. A few years back, the Diamond OEM cards had slower memory than the retail cards - it appears now this should not be an issue.

I have this card at home with VIA chipset, no problems. Where did you get that from JuryDuty.
