It's a little louder than my 9700np with ice... cooler.

Mine is oc'ing to 405/1100, no problems in any of my games so far, and the gpu temp barely changed after the OC.

3dmark 2003 (p4 2.8 ghz, 1 GB pc3200 corsair, Abit IS7-e)

6800 GT: 10,550

Overclocked to Ultra: 11,808

the 20% off was on all cards... not just AGP cards
only a 6800 was left.... among the really high end cards, and i already have a 6800 pro so i decided to pass

PM'd CC for a 6800. Thanks for the heads up. I blew up my 9800Pro yesterday! LOL. The 4Pin Molex is black! It works though, but it still goes back to ATi so they can send me a new one. I couldn't wait for them to take a month for it to get back to me

how did you do this, I am going to CC in a couple days...

just take it to the customer service . as long as u have a microcenter in the area, they'll do it.

 

[mlk3454]

would the PM work if microcenter is 4 hours away (same state)

also, since this deal is good until the 16th, do you think they will restock befre then?

ya, that being said, Microcenter doesn't carry any PCI-E cards. if anyone is still looking for this I stopped by the Chicago store on Elston yesterday afternoon and they had 8-10 of every card left. btw, wth is a 6800 pro?

My x800 XT is running nicely at 530/1150 :Q

Higher than PE speeds

I did the following.

I went to microcenter and they had 2 Geforce 6800 Ultras and 1 X800XT open boxed.

I bought 1 6800 Ultra (after negotiating) for $351.56.

Here's how.

They had it marked USED at 439.99. I asked them to price match themselves and TAKE 20% off
that labeled Price :-D.

I got the x800 xt for $361.56.

BIG THANKS to you my friend. I was about to shell about money for a 6800 ultra at the westmont location (cuz theyre out of gt's) until i read your post and drove all the way to the chicago store to pick up a gt. saved me over $100 and i'm plenty happy with how the gt performs.

 

[ScottFern]

I just installed my watercooling and yeah.....my 6800GT doesn't work now.

What do you guys recommend for around $350 ?? X800 or the 6800 GT/Ultra? I am going to use the waterblock again just with a different card. Whats the best deal right now? Help a poor idiot who needs a deal badly.

 

[Ryland]

Unfortunately there are no MicroCenters in the southern RI area that I know of...This would be a great deal!

 

[tr1kstanc3]

FYI

microcenter in fairfax, virginia has 5 x800xt's left. they are not advertised online anymore but i asked a salesperson and jumped in on the sweet deal.

 

[DestruyaUR]

Keep in mind that even though the end date on this is 1/16, Micro Center typically expands the circular for another two weeks unless they're losing money.

 

[NeoXtremeX]

Can i make a phone order for the X800 XT since its not available for ordering online?

 

[GML3G0]

Gahhh. I won't be able to make it to the one in Westbury, NY till next Saturday. Has anyone gone there and seen if any are X800 XTs left? Also, does the 20% off apply to a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Gamer's Edition as well?

 

[imported_Salvatore]

Too bad :-(

I would be glad to buy one of those off of you and add a little

 

[Reiniku]

Creative sound cards are 20% off, so if they have the GE, yes.

Link to ZS Gamer Edition (price seems a bit high for 20% off)

 

[GML3G0]

The prices already have the 20% off included? Oh, damn. I thought that it would come out to around $84 with the 20% off which is a few bucks cheaper than what I'm paying for a ZS non-GE. That sucks. As for the X800, I guess I'll just stick with a ATi brand Pro I can get for $360.

 

[dejacky]

I don't see the $320 price anymore. WTF?

 

[Idleuser]

20% off on all cards? even the Evga 6600 pcie? can anyone confirm this
