Click on the manufacturer product page at that ZZF link, I don't think it does but I may have missed it.

Very nice

Not a bad deal, $15 more at newegg. ZZF reseller ratings have dropped a lot lately, so, in my experience, don't expect this to ship anytime soon.

Well the thing that makes this a good deal is the fact that it comes with Rainbow Six: Vegas, which seems to go for like $40 by itself, so you have to take that into consideration. If you planned on buying Vegas and a new video card anyway, then if you think of it like that you're getting this X1950 Pro for ~$110.

Also, from what I can tell from newegg's listing of what looks like this card, it is HDCP compliant.

Thanks! In for one. it should be HDCP ready as the Manufacturer SKU: number is the same in newegg.

Hell, I'd buy it if I didn't already have an X1900GT.

Up for a great deal

 

[RallyMaster]

Rainbow Six Vegas has an unfinished multiplayer with a total lack of admin controls or stability (both host and client). Read the UbiSoft RSV PC forums and you'll see that people have been wanting a patch for the past month and a half but hasn't gotten one yet. Not worth paying an extra bit of cash if you can get another card with same specs without R6V for cheaper.

 

[BladeVenom]

I agree that R6V sounds too buggy to bother with, but I think that's still the best price for that card even without the free game.

 

[PuppettMaster001]

I have this card and I can confirm it is HDCP compliant AND R6V is a really good game (buggy but fun). Great deal, kinds makes me want to CF.

Who cares? The game's free and they'll eventually make a patch, besides it's still a great deal.

I hemmed and hawed about this deal all weekend but I finally bit on it now.

This will be just perfect for my wife's machine.

 

[j511180]

I don't need this card, but I want to buy it just to compare image quality with the g71 in the games I play. Is that wrong? Plus it's blue and it would match my motherboard

If you go to the Ubi forums, it certainly seems like they AREN'T making one...
