Yea, hopefully they won't want to mess up that pretty rating too!

I was JUST about to order this...then I decided "what the heck, i better check the status on my amazon order". Well, to my surprise my amazon order shipped today! Hopefully everyone is able to get in on this deal...and hopefully this place honors the price. I was one of the unlucky ones in the previous 6800GT 'deals gone dead'.

Damn that's such a tempting price. Just got a 9800 Pro and I already want to upgrade. But I think I'll hold out and see how Doom 3 handles on my card. Wonder if Doom 3 will run that much better on the 6800GT?

Current set up:
3.2 GHz P4
ASUS P4P800 Deluxe mobo
1GB Kingston Hyper-X RAM
120GB HDD
Hercules 9800 Pro

Well these are preliminary benchmarks and ATI is disputing them but:

ATI vs NVIDA : Doom 3

 

[usernamemax20charact]

Yeah. I've ready pretty much everything. But I think I'll hold out and see what the benchmarks are after Doom 3 is released. Thanks.

So far, everything I've read points to the 6800GT as the sweet spot/card to get.

Doom 3 is almost guaranteed to run much better on a Nvidia card, than an ATI card.
You can say it is better fit with the Nvidia cards / Nvidia cards were built for Doom 3.

Just an update... I did receive an order confirmation so tomorrow I plan to call and see if it will ship immediately or if their inventory system just didn't update real-time stock in time and allowed my order to be placed. If so I plan to cancel.

 

[ColdBrew]

They don't accept back order purchases either... Oh well. Good luck to you!

 

[Johnbear007]

If they dont accept back order purchases I wonder why they allow you to add it to your cart?

[Spitwad]

[Schibler]

Well hell I got one as well. I am still kicking myself for missing the Amazon.com deal on this card, I shouldn't have hesitated after provantage fell through.

I hope this one works because my current video card is on it's last leg...

 

[Epoz]

I ordered one too.I hope if this deal does fall througth it does it soon. I need a new video card for doom 3 lol.

I've got this in my cart, so tempted!!

I got the 9800Pro at BB this past week for $156 after rebate and 10% off coupon but it's been crashing after 2-3 minutes of Farcry. Looks like I'm gonna have to upgrade my 250W PSU anyway and the whole reason I went with the 9800 over the 6800 was I heard the 9800 would run fine on a lower watt psu and the 6800 required at least a 350w...hmmm....

damn...gonna sleep on it I guess.

It definitely because of your PSU. I'd recommend getting at least a 400w PSU, just to be safe with either the 9800 Pro or the 6800. I remember reading somewhere (Maximum PC?) that PSU's don't actually run at the stated wattage. For example, a 350w PSU might actually be ~320w or something while a 400w PSU will be ~370w.

You might even want to return the 9800 Pro to BB and jump on this deal instead. It's not even that much more, but it's a way better card. I'm tempted to sell my recently acquired 9800 Pro to my cousin so I can get it.

Is it legal to charge you for something and then cancel it and charge you more? Once you have paid shouldnt you technically own it? I mean, all price mistakes and whining aside this sounds wrong to me. It would be like going to McDonalds, paying 99$ for your chesseburger at the pay window, driving up to the pick up and having them tell you they have have raised the price 50 cents, and have canceled your order, but you can buy your cheeseburger for a 1.49 if you still want to.

That's messed up.

Anyway, I gave it a shot. This is my last try at a good deal on one and then I am ordering from newegg.

Man 250W is really low for a current system anyway. You should be able to pick up a decent 400 or more for a good deal, there have been a few good power supply deals in hot deals latley.

That depends on the company. If you get an Antec 350w you would be safe. I just did an entire new system build for a friend with an Antec 350w and a 9800 pro and it runs flawleslly.
