Never used their "Winfast" series, but Leadtek is a very solid brand.

My first love was a Winfast Riva TNT2 by Leadtek, 32MB. It's a great brand and line of cards. Or at least, it always used to be.

Frankly, it's been a while since I saw a reasonably price winfast anything from Leadtek. They were the BOMB back in the GF2 and GF3 days. I had heard that the winfast line was struggling after the GF 3 and then they seemed to disappear. That being said, I'm glad to see them back - if the card is of the same quality of their older cards then it's a GOOD thing they're back!

Considering the $150 extra price tag, it's tempting to grab one. I was really close to getting the tiger direct deal on the 850XT-PE. I'm glad I'm holding out, now if only I could wait a little longer... :p

He's taking mine for $510 shipped USPS Priority with Delivery Confirmation... next week that is.

I had two... hooking d94 up with one... he was wrong, though... he's paying $5 extra for mine b/c this Winfast is $505 SHIPPED. :)

Anyways, in any case this is still a good deal... $505 shipped is hot.

What's up with the prices dropping so fast... it's driving me nuts!

It comes with Chaos Theory too. What an awesome deal. The Leadtek 6800GTs are the ones that came with that huge heatsink that you could only fit in SLI on the Asus board, they were known for overclocking really well. I just spent like 400 bucks in the past 2 days or I'd pick one up. It'd be depressing if I didn't get such a great deal on the stuff I bought. Great find.

lol i just spent 600$ for mine from the egg a couple weeks ago and id still pay it again for this great card. great to hear d94 getting a pretty good deal on a brand new bfg (as from what i can tell their cards are getting some of the highest memory ocs around)

Yes, I figured I'd make a friend... maybe someday he'll hook ME up! :)

I put out the extra $500 for the extra card b/c I felt like being nice. What goes around comes around, and someday someone will help me out... actually, I gotta admit, sentential hooked me up one time with a 2600 mobile IQYHA, nf7, ram, etc... like a lil over a year ago.

Nice, comes with two good games as well. That goos because the only recent game I ahve it BF2. Hmmm. I'm torn over how much I want to spend on a card though. 250.00 for a x800 xl, 350 for x850 xt pe, or 500 for a 7800gtx :/

EDIT: Just decided to go for the x800 xl. I never realized that it was based on the x850 xt. Hopefully mine will overclock well. good news is that I get to stay with ATI, which I really wanted to do.
