my friend just got a X800XL, runs great with Quake4 but FEAR was skipping and all that. yes he shelled out $199 for that thing at compusaOriginally posted by: Krome20
Nice find. I was contemplating going to BB for the x700 also. I've been looking for a good price on an AGP card for a while now since my ti4600 went crazy on me. I was planning on spending around $150 for a new one. Does anyone know of a better card around $150 or should I jump on this? I was looking at the deal for the Connect3D x800GTO 256 meg PCI Express and was hoping they had an agp version for that price they didn't. Let me know what you think.

Jumped on it like a pedophile on a 5 year old.

But I don't think it would work on the AGP version

Yes, that Evercool unit is what I'm planning to use on this 6600GT (as well as the $149AR Connect3D X800GTO I'm getting for my wife's computer - she gets the better one ). I have no idea if it would work or not on the AGP version. I brain farted... indeed I purchased the PCIe version for the same price:
PNY 6600GT PCIe $99 AR
SVC has a lower price on the Evercool and shipping will also be cheaper if you are buying multiple items. That's where I got mine from (for even less when they had it on sale). That Evercool works great on my 6800GT running at stock speeds.

The AGP version is out of stock again if it was really ever back in stock in the first place.

Well, I owned this exact same card a month ago. It was idling at 60C, which was unacceptable. I ended up returning it, and with some prodding Newegg waived the restocking fee. Maybe I'm a prude, but the max i would like the card to idle at is probably mid-40C.
Could be I got a lemon, though.
Most of the newer GPUs run at least that high. My 6800GT runs at 60-70 or so, sometimes gets up to 75 after heavy play. The core slowdown temp is set at 120, so I guess there is plenty of room. One set of drivers a while ago was also reporting the temps even higher than it should have, but I think they fixed that.
So, yes, you panicked in vain.

Got my card today - where the heck do I get the rebate form? I don't see it on Newegg when I search for it.
