Thanks for posting that.. the link I got in my email was broken, although I'm still trying to figure out of I should order or not..

eBay shows some decent deals if you want an even better price.

wow good thing i did a search on x850xt and found this thread, i just got in on the deal right under the wire =D

 

[Sippie]

Actually this deal looks like it has become even sweeter! If you follow Otaec's link the card comes up as $449 and the $100 off instant coupon is still listed as valid

$349 is the best deal I have seen.

Ordering one now I will update if the deal fizzles out.

Order went through just fine

i wish it was pci-e...

 

[imported_Gorath]

The original message says, "This is an Alienware exclusive offer..."

Does anyone know whether the restriction to registered Alienware users is actually enforced?

Gorath

I am not an alienware user and it went through just fine for me. I gather that there was some sort of promotional link or coupon code that was allready entered byOtaec.

I ordered on Saturday I figured there would be a delay what with the holiday weekend but should something come up I will update the thread

 

[imported_Gorath]

Thanks.

 

[shock311]

I ordered one as well, will post if order does not go through.

 

[imported_Gorath]

By googling for 'ati x850 "coupon code"', I was able to find another code with the same $100 instant savings, but without the Alienware association. The code is "x850xt2349" rather than "alien2349".

DUDE...same here. I so freakin' shocked that is actually true (but they can always cancel the order anytime) I just ordered a few hours ago. Keep me inform about your purchase if it is already being sealed and shipped !

 

[KristopherKubicki]

You could always get a Sapphire one for $393 anyway...

[Heckler 5th]

these cards are even sweeter when you flash em with an x850XT PE bios! i just got mine and installed the brand new omega drivers and i love it!

 

[Powermoloch]

That's pretty sweet man !

 

[gi0rgi0]

Are these better than 6800gt's ? And if so how much better ?

 

[Powermoloch]

dude...@ a price of 349.99 only w/ free shipping . Can't beat that price man. also here's the link for the comparison of the AGP currently out now

http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20050705/index.html

also...I called ATi customer service, i might going to have it this coming friday or next wednesday !!!

 

[gi0rgi0]

Man that is a good price for a new card but i still might by this gt off of a forum member whos willing to sell it to me for $265. Its a bfg model to.
This is making it hard to decide now. Why did I have to see this, hehe

 

[Powermoloch]

BfG? that's a really good brand, especially it's already OC at been stocked up for ya. If I got a chance to get a BFG, I would get 'em also.

 

[Sippie]

No real update yet. My order is confirmed but I do not have a Tracking # yet. I figure if I have not heard back by tomorrow I will call in and see what the hold up is.

Stay Tuned

 

[Powermoloch]

Same here

 

[DanDaMan315]

Was $310 at BB.

 

[Cr0nJ0b]

I must have read this thread 100 times and I missed the AGP part everytime! I just placed the order with blind abandon...and sadly cancelled it a few minutes later.

Oh well.
