8800 GTS 320MB beats it in almost every test btw

SeasonalEclipse · 10-06-07, 05:13 AM

Who didnt see that coming?

Kuroimaho · 10-06-07, 06:10 AM

Well that's not what's interesting, that it can be ocd to XT and it's price is on the other hand.

Rattle · 10-06-07, 06:51 AM

For $250 its a great card, dont forget your buying an XT lmao, some people over at XS are reporting them as XT's as soon as they pop them in, drivers, atitool and the gpu-z showing some as XT;s. regardless they are flashable to XT which is awesome for $250

joesaiditstrue · 10-06-07, 10:07 AM

agreed, it's the best 250-300 USD card as far as price:performance, i almost got one :|

Vipasnipa · 10-06-07, 10:45 AM

That price point makes it really tempting. This could possibly be a transition card for those of us who won't be drinking the DX10/Vista juice any time soon but still want a DX9 upgrade.

Probably shouldn't post it here but This has been the best price I could find: This weekend only( wish i had the cash...)

right now in canada the 2900 Pro 512 is $249.99 at directcanada.com , they had 13 available now 2 are left shipping is $9.99 that is a flat out great deal, too bad card runs hot and uses more power than an 8800 320

Dan0512 · 10-07-07, 04:13 PM

I got just that money left to blow, and I love to invest in such underclocked/flashable to high end cards (current card a 7900GTO).

But I probably wouldn't see much of an improvement from my current card.
