[Powermoloch]

grrrrr

I've bought my x850xt agp for $ 350 !!!! last year arrrghghhhghghghghghhghghg

This is a good deal w/ or without a rebate :thumbsup:

 

[Corporate Thug]

thats an amazing deal for the midrange.

 

[wazzledoozle]

The card can still be sold on EBay for close to $200. AGP cards are worth alot more than their PCI-E equivalent.

ok.. i've never understood.. is this better/worse than the 7600GT?? specs seem better but why does it sell cheaper?

Yeah I know, it will be great if I did.

But I have a 6600AGP and 2 x 512 mbs DDR 400 sticks to get rid off 😕

Not from what i've seen in all games and 3dmark.
My cousin's is atleast 5-12% faster than my x850 xt.
but x850 xt > 7600 gt.

oops that was a typo, I meant x850xt > 7600GT KO... I should've proof read :confused. My bad :thumbsup:

 

[iseestars]

is this better than the x800xl?

why is it still in stock?

question, is it worth waiting for another x1900 AIW deal like from zzf's?

 

[Sonikku]

Because ATI isn't as "hip" as Nividia. ^_^

Oh yeah, and it's better then the XL. The XL is the watered down version of the X850XT.

I am upgrading from an eVGA 6800NU agp 🙂
It wouldnt unlock, so this should be a good upgrade.

If it is better now then what you have then hell yes you should see a good difference between the two. It wasnt all that long ago that the XTPE was thier flag ship and was going for well over $300. Your card is model before this one and on the lower end of the cards.

And I am assuming that yours is AGP?? If so the one in the OP and the 1900AIW are PCI-E.

 

[cyberia]

Up to $145 - $30MIR now.

 

[Kromis]

Good job, cyberia! Thanks for killing this deal! And I meant that in a good way.

 

[Powermoloch]

Ive got an Epox 9NPA+ SLI and a 3200+ on the way.

Or I could just cut some pins off and use in my AGP mobo 😛

I literally saw the price change in my cart as I was trying to find other stuff to buy. LOL. I think it was probably a price mistake and always supposed to be $119 shipped after rebate (or thereabouts).

Congrats to anyone who got in on the deal!
