Search for C261-3025. Maybe a PE version.
Description: Connect3d Radeon X850 XT PLATINUM / 256MB GDDR3 / PCI Express / Dual DVI / VIVO

Edit: I think it's the PE version model:3025 is PE according to Connect3D site.

Edit2: maybe refurb? full part number is "C261-3025 R"

Edit3: Called Tigerdirect, rep believes it's not a refurb. $11 ground shipping to west coast.

Edit4: They changed their website.. now looks like a white box product (OEM?)

It's Tiger DIrect and you're going with 'maybe it's...'?

Do a search to see how these people don't even deliver on clearly advertized items...

I realize that... i've ordered in the past without issue and ordered in the past with issues.

I think everyone knows it's a gamble for tigerdirect.

Hey thanks! i didn't see the rebate offer.. $75 off isn't shabby. problem is that if it's a white box. then no upc.

It may or may not be, but that's a good point of why even third party rebates have been known to fall through with TigerDirect -- NO UPC on a completely white box!! (even if merchandise is not open/used.)

There will ALWAYS be another great deal on the video card of your dreams. There's no reason to take a chance on a deal like this one.

this card is $361 shipped vs $400 After Rebate from Newegg. Pretty good deal even without the rebate.
Only risk is not having the rebate for insane $275 AR....

by the way, I cancelled mine. I called TD and talked to a rep, he said it is OEM and has no UPC. Alos, says there is no reboate on this one.

Ya know, it just came to me, but this isn't that hot of a deal. The 7800GT should be out soon, and with an MSRP of $399. Cards don't sell for MSRP that long, so it wouldn't be hard to get one for $350. But I guess if you want the fastest card today for $350, it is a nice buy.

I called the rebate company and they told me that the rebate would be valid. I guess this is assuming that the upc is even valid to begin with.

We will see..

D'oh! I completely skipped over that link! $275 is a great price if the rebate works!
