even though, it's kind of old video card and only 64 MB but I think this is a very good card at a good price. I've been using one for over a year and love it. If you are not really into PC Games and want only decent graphic card with TV tuner then this is the way to go.

i had this card for a while and loved it. only upgraded to a 9600 b/c i broke a capacitor off my 8500 and i definately miss the aiw capabilities. thats a great price for retail too.

Damn, this was on my "to consider" list and it's sold out instore as well.

I think $100 is a fair price point for it now, considering it's an AIW card. Of course those 9x00s are faster but are those worth twice plus the price? I don't think so.

 

[mposis]

Thanks guys. It wasn't sold out when I saw it.

considering how a tv tuner ~$50, i would say this is a good price

 

[xSauronx]

ive seen these for a while at 130-150
slower clock/mem usually than the retail 8500's, but again, its an AIW and meant for the video people
Linkified

this one comes with the remote and firewire port.
nice price.

I have this card. Got it when it was $150 after rebate. It's still in my living room as a tivo card now. Pretty good deal i'd say

This is a pretty good deal. I picked up the last one in the store I went to. The sales guy said they are expecting 2 more in the next couple of days. The other store in town (Portland, OR) still has a few in stock.

Not bad at all for this retail card with Tuner, Capture, 1394 and remote control.

OOS in my area - damn -

 

[JammingJay]

Definitely worth $100 if you're in the market for a TV tuner/video card.

 

[SearchMaster]

Is it DVI only, or can it work with a regular CRT?

Edit - never mind, just read the description a little more closely

 

[bargainshopper]

is the deal over? Can't find it anymore

 

[badluck]

deal is back on for $99.99

 

[elgorey]

dagnabbit sold out again.

would this card perform for 3d games than a Geforce2 GTS ?

 

[huesmann]

Better than a GTS.

I checked out one of the stores that was listed as 'out of stock', but they had three 8500dv units among the rest of the ATI cards. At the one I went to, there weren't any shelf stickers for it but it rang up $99.99+tax so no need to print the website or anything.

check your local store to see if they have it in stock. picked one up at 2 pm EST at the Columbia, Maryland Store. The have it at the customer service desk and it rang up at $99.99. All the other MD stores were out of stock, but the Columbia Store still has some. Good Luck!
