System Requirements Details Pentium III - RAM 256 MB - HD 50 MB


hah

the guy running that system needs to upgrade more than his video card..

 

[aggressor]

Would the 10% off E&A work for this?

 

[upsciLLion]

Do we have any idea what brand this card is?

 

[CelSnip]

In the description says it's a PNY card.

 

[mechsiah]

That'd be a PNY according to the "PNYTechnologies" tag I think. Looks like clubit sells these for $270, but E&A would make this pretty nice if it worked...

 

[mattcham]

The 15% off E&A coupon that came in the mail does not stack with this.
Not bad for no rebate, but tax kills the deal.

At Newegg it's $250 after $40 rebate.

So it's a toss-up between paying tax or waiting for a rebate.

$250 AR for 8800GTS at NewEgg

 

[fleshconsumed]

Yeah, but doesn't XFX have mod friendly warranty that allows you to install aftermarket heatsink without voiding it?

Too bad I'm short on cash right now and XFX is out of stock, otherwise I might have bitten the bullet.

 

[Tempered81]

hows the e&a work at dell?

isgust; mother$%^&$% OOS. I never can get in on these deals in time. probably by the time it's back in stock I'll be SOL on the price. Oh well.

 

[imported_BS]

Best price I saw on this card a month and a half ago was $220 after rebate.

 

[pontifex]

you can get an evga model with lifetime warranty from newegg for 259 AR
i think EVGA even lets you OC their cards without voiding the warranty.

 

[fleshconsumed]

Yeah, but evga won't honor warranty unless you bought it from authorized reseller. Of course they will honor if you bought if from newegg, but overall, if they want to fvsk the customer on warranty, well fvsk them too.

i don't see a problem with that, just like pretty much everyone else in the thread you linked.

$269 after $30MIR

If you use this link you can get the 640MB GeForce 8800GTS for $338 + tax with free shipping. Just add it to cart and the discount is applied.

That only $72 for another 320MB....not bad.

Yep, I have a thread goin about all the rebates over at the egg. I was all over the overclocked XFX model like a cheap suit.

To the guy with the 640 meg deal: isn't the increased memory largely irrelevant? I hear you never see the gains unless you run insane ass resolutions beyond 1600x1200. AT recommends it for anything under 2560x1600 with 4xAA: Text

Cliffs: unless you have a 30" panel, get the 320. If you do have a 30" panel, price is obviously not a factor.

 

[ivan2]

I wonder how's the noise level for this thing. I found this online review states that the fan can be up to 40.1dba loud. Can anyone tell me if the noise from a 8800GTS ever bother them?

anyone that owns a 24inch monitor would not want to get this card over the 640mb variant if they like to enable AA. Enabling AA at 1920x1200 destroys this 320mb card, >30fps decrease at times. I would said the extra 70 or so to make it more future proof would def be a good investment.

 

[Tempered81]

looks like my pny from dell is still cheaper than the newegg gts links
in this thread

 

[aggressor]

Not after tax, though

That's what I figured. Some states also don't have to pay tax when ordering from Dell, so it's a good deal.

Tax usually kills deals for me :brokenheart:
