I have heard there are problems with the tv tuner. Any collaboration?

Ive had mine for about 6 months. Works great!

Or you can get it for $129 from the ATi trade up program.

i'd wait for another deal to show up on the x1900 AIW

 

[BDawg]

It's just about the fastest card you can buy for AGP. If you can tell me where to get an x1900 AIW, I'll buy one.

Don't threadcrap. If you wanna upgrade your AGP, this is about the best you can do. It's for those that wanna go one more round with their current platform. If the deal is not something you can use don't reply.

 

[agentsmith101]

So does AIW tv tuner work for the basic cable?

 

[BDawg]

Yes

 

[straightalker]

sorry, i forgot it was AGP

is X800XT the highest an AGP card goes these days?

 

[platinumike]

Will I see a significant improvement in games with this in my current system:

xp 2500(oc'd to 2.2ghz)
1.5gb ram
6800gt

FYI, The fastest card available for AGP these days is X850XT. I upgraded earlier this year and if you're a gamer with a nice AGP setup, this card screams. 16 pixel pipes and fast memory make for very nice framerates on "stone age" technology.

 

[agentsmith101]

How long do u think it would take until this card is at fx5500 standards today?

 

[Sonikku]

FX5500?! Try 2-3 years.

 

[TreyRandom]

I've got one for $149 shipped in my FS/FT thread, and it includes an upgraded HSF (ATI Silencer 4).

Yeah I got the x850xt just last year (around october) All I can say it still kicks arse with the games coming out today...yet I had to shell out 349.99 for mines ;_;

the seller got away with using the card and reselling it for his cost + a cooling fan

 

[Sonikku]

Ugh!! Every place with a decent price is sold out!

I tried to get it at zipzoomfly last week. Sold out after I ordered. Listing removed. - canceled

I tried to get it at Buy.com with a $10 coupon on Friday, waiting a day for my money to post at the bank. Despite it saying "in Stock", I get an email later saying it's sold out. - canceled
http://www.buy.com/prod/ATI_All_In_Wond..._8x_Video_Card/q/loc/101/10386224.html

I pay about ten bucks more at Mwave Saturday just so I can get one when it was in stock. No such luck. "No stock". - canceled
http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=3592857

I ordered from ATI.com even though I really don't want to be troubled with a annoying step up program. The email I just got:

Don't take this personally, BDawg. But I really, really hate you.

A lot.

I know how you feel. I tried to jump on the VIVO x850 Pro and was too late for that.

 

[Sonikku]

As was I.

Just can't seem to get a damn break here...

You just KNOW when these cards come back in stock that they're all going to price gouge.

No... the seller bought it 5 months ago from an AT user (Fraggable) for $215, with the silencer already installed. Jerkhole.

Regardless, it's a competitive price, considering what the card is going for on other sites... IF they're in stock.

Sheesh... can't believe my FS/FT thread is being crapped on in an external thread.

It depends on whether or not you OC your 6800GT. At stock speeds the X800XT is comparable to the 6800 Ultra. Most would argue that the X800Xt is a little better. So if you OC your GT to Ultra speeds then you won't see too much of an improvement. But at stock speeds, there are titles such as HL2 that would see significant improvements with the XT.
