lol, the X800XT is obviously better performance wise, but it's even cheaper than the XL? Wow!

 

[tvbi]

I know where I'm going after work.. 6800nu is giving me problem with nforce 3 chipset..

 

[inthell]

ya these are wicked good deals
my x800 pro refurb is in the mail cant wait to get it

i just wish ATIs warranty policy was as good as EVGA and BFG. but i guess if a card works after one year of use than it is most likely safe the only problem might be the fan dieing but thats pretty easy to fix anyway

That's an "AS-IS" item (the X800XT linked)

 

[gregtor]

but its lifetime warranty through visiontech

... where "as is" means it may be missing some parts, BUT it will be replaced if defective as I read their pages. (Only defective "bargain bin" items can be returned & replaced.) These are customer-returns [which were opened], so... a bit risky but a great price....

 

[inthell]

still going

 

[inthell]

bump
not sure if they're instock still i suggest calling the store

 

[usernamemax20charact]

Okay, so which is better... X800 XL or X800 Pro?


EDIT..........

Nevermind. Found my answer here and here. The X800 XL is the way to go.

Hopefully I won't win the eBay auction for a used 6800GT tonight.

 

[inthell]

the XL is better but the difference is pretty small (4 pipes vs higher core)

 

[WhataboutBob]

I heard Nvidia card makers are dropping prices as well. Can anybody confirm this?

MWave has it now for $227.

Looks like prices are starting to fall for all of them.

 

[TrojanAaron]

Whats the deal w/ ATI and their crashing prices? First was the refurbed XT PEs and Pros for $230 and $200 respectively... then NewEgg and ZZF wsa clearing out their retails XT PEs for $240... Now Retail XLs going for <$230?

Are they going to drop the bomb on all of us with a new chipset? Anyone have any inside information?

 

[Zap]

Yup, new chipset available soon.

BTW, X800XL $227.
