it saddens me that there are people willing to pay this much money for a few fps improvements.

There is nothing to be sad about...its pumping much needed money into our weak economy.

good point, but that doesn't mean you aren't INSANE if you pay that much for a video card

no it's not, mr economics guru, it's just taking money that would have probably be spent on other products, and putting it into the retailer bank account, and that is less likely to be spent.

yeah, because companies never spend the money they make doing things like expanding their markets, hiring new employees, opening new stores, etc. Nope...they just get all that money..and sit on it

I tell you what, though, in 2 years when these are selling on the forums for like $80, I'm gonna buy one and come find this thread and sneer at everyone who bought one at this price, hehe

Jason

Kudos for ATi for making some great video cards in extremely small quantities. The X850XTPE is out, yet I can't remember a time when I could go to any B&M store and buy an X800XTPE in quantity.

At least 6800 Ultras were eventually available at MSRP towards the tail end of their lifespan.

Ditto that. ATI really screwed the pooch on their X800XT's. I was leaning toward that card but since they never arrived I got a 6800GT. Now I've got an SLI capable setup so ATI not only lost me as a customer for my previous graphics card purchase they'll not get my business on my next one either.

And ppl laughed at Longshot for offering one up at $900 and then $800 + shipping.

Well, at least the price is better than the one at atacom

 

[hyeclass]

all of you need to get pussy! lol :laugh:

This is retarded. Buying things at MSRP is already stupid enough, but buying things at this gouged price is just ridiculous....

 

[user1234]

gouging 101, i'd like to laugh in the face of the retard who buys at this price

True, but benchmarks show that the 850XT PE beats two 6800 GT's.

 

[razor2025]

benchmarks are meh. It's all about the engines again. If you're betting on Doom 3 engine, get 6800. Betting on HL2 engine, get ATI.
