X850 XT PE $149.99 No Rebate

[tbogstad]

Its not a bad deal, but a 7600gt out performs it by about 20%, and is about $20.00 less.

care to let us know where you came up with that number (20% performance)?
I thought they were similar in terms of performance.

Update:
They lowered the price to $149.99 about hour ago 🙂 Have fun

is this deal better than the evga 7600gt KO for 140 AR? It's only $10 more with no rebates but which would perform better because $10 isnt much to me.

edit: oh and would this work well with it? i hear ati cards are getting louder and louder -_-

What about comparisons to the 6800GS?

This should beat the pants off the 6800GS - the X850 XT PE was the top of the range card for a good while - better in many tests to the top of the 6800 range - the 6800 GTX. The 6800GS was more a mid range version I think - about level with ATI's X800XL.

Good deal! :thumbsup:

anyone know how the x850xt pe compares to the 7600 gt?

The crossfire addition X850XT at ATI.Com for ~$132 shipped (with coupon code and free shipping EDIT...free shipping appears to be dead, shipped price at ATI.com is now ~$147) is a better deal IMO verses this non-crossfire PE edition for $155.00 (shipped).

So what it comes down too is that this is a great deal? Right?

If $40 is worth a 3% increase in performance, then yeah. I think you'd be better of paying $130 for the XT and losing a frame or two per second max......

wtf are you talking about?

 

[BW86]

wow, great price

Yes, this is a great price. Remember, the X850XT PE actually beats the 7800GT in a few games.
