enjoy.


edit: In short, the rebate was pulled down but is now back up (possibly due to customers calling in to confirm the validation of the rebate).

it comes with a dvi--->vga adapter though, it will work just fine w/ your CRT monitor :thumbsup:

 

[y3llo]

it comes with TWO dvi to vga adapters =)
yep its replacing my 64bit fx5200

 

[Teetu]

anyone have any idea if a zalman vf700 would work with this? it seems like the heatsink by the fan might be in they way

 

[modedepe]

Great price :thumbsup:

 

[y3llo]

[leetnewt]

Anyone willing to buy this for me and ship to canada

 

[Jenova314]

i have this card. note that the fan is fairly loud, so noise-conscious users should factor in the price for another vga hsf.

 

[DorkBoy]

damn i just bought a MSI

 

[HonkeyDonk]

oooo, i'll have to think about getting this heh

 

[gshock888]

good deal i sold my 9800 pro and put in an old radeon 9100 on my 400sc server, i might get this so i can game on it

 

[HardcoreRobot]

the rebate is no longer listed on the site, can someone pm me the form?

 

[imported_itr]

since it has the same heatsink/fan design as the evga, are they both equally as loud?

edit: nevermind, not the reference cooler.

 

[imported_chuckey]

Is the rebate still valid for the video card? If so, can somone pm the pdf form?

 

[imported_IronPlasma]

I believe it is. I remember the rebate being valid for most of the month when I looked at it. If anyone has it, PM me as well. Thanks.

Does this card get smoked by the 6800GT or what? Tom only compares it to the 6800. Is it worth $200 more for the 6800 GT? Looks like a great deal either way, can someone PM me the rebate pllleeeaaassee

how does this card compare with this? I've been wanting a 9800 pro forever, and the specs look similar (better?) than the newegg. granted it's more expensive, but I want to know what is physically better about the 6600GT?

Tom's Hardware: VGA Charts

6800GT > 6800 > 6600GT > 9800PRO

Also, for those who purchased this because of the rebate, you'll have to call Newegg and discuss the possibility of a refund/discount. The reason the rebate was pulled was because it was for a different model #.

tiger direct has it with the rebate though = 172.02 + Tax
