Seems decent enough might want to wait for R520 to launch though.

I speak for the 90% gaming community that uses AGP, R520 will be Pci-e exclusive just as nvidia, and its being delayed. $430 isnt bad for 1200mhz gpu.

I'm not saying the R520 will be available or AGP. Just saying I think ATI will still atleast paper launch which NV would then atleast paper launch some form of 7800 Ultra which in turn would lower prices of the GTX it its competition.

I agree I think that is a decent price but I have seen regular XT's for much cheaper but if you are not going to be OCing and don't want to void the warrenty with an after market HSF as this one already has a ATI silencer, then yeah buy it up.

Doesn't seem like a good deal when I got mine almost a year ago for $500.

I guess the high price is good for me when I upgrade to a 7800 GTX.

ATI's latest roadmap shows R520, RV530 and RV515 in both PCI-E & AGP.
