Sapphire 1950xtx downclocked.

crfracer290 · Nov 6, 2006

Well I picked a BNIB Sapphire x1950xtx the other day for an amazing 300 bucks at a grand opening of a local PC store.

I was looking over the specs on the egg and noticed that the memory was only 1550 compared to 2000 of the rest of the cards? What is up with this? I havent tested this card yet so I dont really know if thats the clocks that will show up?

Anyone?

misprint they just took the mem clock from the x1900xtx and copy/pasted it.

when you get the card in requested mem clock will be 999

kick *** deal BTW

Oh ok thanks alot!! newegg has been making alot of misprints lately, EX: e6300 Conroe. Lol.

And yeah, this was a great deal. It was 450-150 when you signed up for some PC magazine which was 12.95. The store is brand new so they are trying to get some good rep I guess. The guy said that this was the last one (he might have been selling me) and that he had 90 of these that all sold in 3 days and then he got 20 more.

wow does he take phone orders ?

what else does he have ?

crfracer290 · Nov 7, 2006

Umm, I am not sure on the phone orders.

Everything else was pretty high priced like CompUSA... Just as I was walking out I saw a dry-erase board that had some deals on it and this one immediately caught my eye.

I cant really decide if I want to keep it though as I could make a 50ish profit it and keep my 1900xtx. Will this card beat my 1900 by a significant margin

crfracer290 · Nov 7, 2006

or what I could do is sell my 1900xtx and this puppy and then buy a 7950gx2 just for fun, I have always wanted to have one of this cards and I am just biding time until R600.

Rattle · Nov 7, 2006

i hear that or you can buy a 8800gts/gtx

crfracer290 · Nov 7, 2006

Yeah but I really don't want to buy a new gen card right off the bat, and I wanted to wait for R600 kinda.

also, I am kinda tired of ati's bloated drivers.
