This is how NOT to post in the cyber deal section.


I looked to find the deal for you all at:

http://www.techbargains.com/

http://www.sleekdeals.com/index.php

www.dealcatcher.com

www.fatwallet.com


Apparently this deal is at Bestbuy $299 minus a 10% printable coupon I couldnt find

[R.Rabbit]

:( S&H for it is around $7 for me which is clsoe to the same price found at pricewatch.com....... its still a decent deal though. I still want them to be < $250 before i buy

[therudyq3]

Rabbit...although I'm gonna wait a little longer before I get a new vid card...but thanks for the efforts and notice

mucho appreciato :D ;) ;) :D

[PhobMX]

CRAP!!! now i feel stupid by buyin this r9700np for 240...

ive sworn to not to get anything above $200 for my computer but i got sucked to it FFS... okay, ill calm myself getting some gaming... later

[BigJk-47]

I dont know about that card....Its better than the 9700 pro BUT It would seem more benefical to get the 9800 pro with 256 ram.I want my Half life 2 and Doom 3 to look top notch.

[Illah]

Hmmmm.... 9800 pro 256meg is $454 on pricewatch. That's nearly $200 for - when both are overclocked - a not-so-spectacular performance difference. And most games don't even utilize 128megs of texture memory yet.

This is a great deal, I'm tempted to go for it.

--Illah

[wardog50]

I think my RMAed 9500 will have to find a new home when it gets back.

This is a great deal thanx alot.
I kept coming back to this post to see if you gave a link.
Now that I know where it is I can go on with life.LOL

Wardog

[R.Rabbit]

ah!, im so tempted myself

[therudyq3]

newegg has some 9800 card for $280...so is this really a good deal? I just found out

[R.Rabbit]

this is a mutch better deal cus it isnt a saphire but its an actual buil by ATI readon, these are mutch better for overclocking than 3rd party boards

[Turd Furguson]

I must close down my machine and hide my wallet before my right hand reaches for the CC.

[R.Rabbit]

bump

[PhobMX]

guys, would it be worth it for me to jump from my r9700np for a r9800np?? how likely will i get pro speeds?? i can sell my card for much more around here and even get some profit, i just wanna know if its worth the hassle

[Lithan]

If its free or profit then do it right now.

And unless Im mistaken, sapphire and ati cards 9700 and up are identical... aren't they?

[seer33]

well theres a 9800 np at newegg for 10$ less then that link..with free shipping...its a sapphire, and its oem, but some people prefer that. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?catalog=48&DEPA=1&submit=property&mfrcode=0&propertycode=&propertycodevalue=4884,3668

[R.Rabbit]

ya that saphire deal looks great but i must wonder if they're using the same core as the 9800pro like these BBA cards are or if they're using 9700 cores, and maybe even slower ram, i guess i'd feel safer with a BBA card, PhobMX you should definately get one of these, the core overclockability alone is worth it not to mention the extra boost in speed it just beeing a 9800

[Krowa 02]

If I buy a BBA card, do I have a better chance at getting better ram and a better core?

reading lithans post might answer your question...

well guys you convinced me, ill get rid of this r9700np ASAP now that these are heavily overpriced here now, then right on for that saphire r9800np :D Classifieds site, here i go...

thnx a lot

[seer33]

no no no i hear the ati cards have the 3.0 inf(sp) ram and that they reach VERY poor oc speeds. The guys with the 400+core @ 9800 pro bios have the saphire cards with 2.8 -3.3 samsung memory

AAAHHH ...... god I hope thats not true , cause I just ordered a BBA 9800 Pro (retail) :eek: with the hopes that it will have the better mem on it ( only paid $310 :D )
Let ya know what mem it has when I get it this week , or by next monday .
Up until now my other Radeons have been by Sapphire .
We'll see what happens .
