[hans007]

[hube235]

uhhhhhhhh, where?

 

[tbogstad]

I found it.

Its BEST BUY.

in the weekly ad.

2 in SLI, would be better than any 7series single card including the 7900GTX, don't think it would beat a 7950GX2 though.

Uh, I don't think that's true. A 7900GTX should still be faster.

get the coupon from chubby billfold

the 12% off coupon for zone members should work, it says graphic and sound cards included right on the coupon.

making this $149.99 - $18.00 = 131.99 + tax, so less than $140.00 total for most

zone is now free so anybody can get it.

zone gets ya 2.5% in a gift card in 3 months, still thats another $3.75 saved.

it easily beats 7900GTX, and in some reviews 7900gs sli overclocked beats a stock 7950gx2

i am pretty sure dual 7900gs would be faster than a single gtx. one 7900gs is maybe 9-10% slower than a 7900gt. i think 2 would easily be about 7950gx2 speed as they would be clocked higher and have higher clocked ram



a 7950gx2 has 48 pipes at 500mhz with 1200mhz ram. a 7900gs has 20 pipes at 450mhz with 1320mhz ram.


higher speed ram usually wins, not to mention a 7900gs can easily be overclocked to 550mhz or more and it is much harder to o/c a 7950gx2. if that coupon really works you could buy 2 7900gs for only $264. im sure thats cheaper than a 7950gx2.

 

[tbogstad]

you can only use the coupon once per zone member account, but just get a friend to go with ya and sign up for a account and give them the money to buy the second card for ya.

course i sold my 939 sli motherboard to go conroe, and i am not paying $250.00 for the 680i Nvidia sli board. so no SLI for me.

 

[Ricochet]

Perfect timing for me. A friend had just signed up for reward zone today. I have a system that's been waiting for a videocard.

Very nice not to mess with rebates. Does anyone know if there is supposed to be a better deal on Black Friday?

i seriously doubt it woud be significantly better.

 

[WT]

Rumor had it there was a 7950GT for $200 on a BF deal, but I haven't heard from where. Its $50 more, but its up to the buyer to decide if thats worth it. Plus, this deal is current and not just a rumor at this point.

 

[CrackRabbit]

soooooo tempting......

 

[I4AT]

That's a damn good price, and even better that it's retail. I got in on the Woot deal and that card hit 550/775 pretty easy, on stock cooling.

 

[imported_DGibFen]

Link to 12% off coupon for RW members.

It states that it will take off the retail price, so YMMV. With the coupon, the card was 131.99 before tax. (139 or so after tax for me)

Compusa has the card for 179.99 after a $30 rebate. You could try to PM the price, but YMMV. You would have to pay 150 + tax (around 160 for me) - 30 rebate. Ends up being slightly more at BB if you can use the 12% coupon, plus no rebate hassles.

 

[DestruyaUR]

Don't forget PNY's warranty bulls***. The card isn't covered for its lifetime, it's covered for the time "lifetime" that PNY actually produces/distributes it.

BFG, XTX, and eVGA don't have this doublespeak, but they're not on sale for 149.99. Caveat emptor, always.

 

[Aquilifer]

I just picked up one of these cards. The 12% coupon worked fine for me. $140 with taxes, $60 less than Newegg! I'm going to leave it in the package until after Black Friday so that if (in the unlikely event) there is a better deal, I can jump on it and still return this card.

There won't be. The BF card is an X1600 Pro AGP for $99.99.

Circuit City is a 7600 model (don't know which) for 89.99.

 

[tbogstad]

got one, used the coupon no problem.

price was ($149.99) - 12%($18.00)+tax5%($6.60)-zone points equal2.5%($3.30)-1%Discover card cashback($1.32) = $133.97 in Virginia

very tempted to try and get a second one and see if i can get away with useing the coupon twice.


and PNY warranty is 3 year if you register it within 90 days of purchase, no lifetime warranty of any kind, highly doubt I would have the card more than 6 months anyway, so no big deal there.

you want bad warranty service try VISIONTEK they suck and they charge you to ship the card both ways. not 1 way like most companys.

 

[GZeus]

Damn, too bad that's an "in-store only" coupon. Tough to get to BB from where I'm at, plus I was hoping to stack it with the $10 coupon I got for the canceled PS3 order. That would have been sweet.
Oh well, just have to live with not buying something I probably don't need anyway.....though I would like to SLI it with the one I got from Woot.

 

[AllWhacked]

Geez, I just bought an X850XTPE for $25 less a few weeks ago and I don't even have the system it is meant for built yet. This deal totally burns my balls. I even got a $100 GC sitting around.

Anyway, for anyone thinking of upgrading your video cards NOW and want something in the sub-$200 range, this is definitely a good deal and the card to get. I've been shopping around for parts for the last few weeks--checking reviews and prices--and this card usually retails for $185-$200 ($165AR), so a $50.00 price cut w/o rebate w/ a 12% off coupon is probably the best deal you'll see for the next 6 month.

The only other card that beats this in performance in this price range is the X1900GT/X1950Pro but those are still selling around $200. Plus those cards use a two slot cooling solution.

And for those complaining about warranty, this card has 3 years--1 year standard and 2 year extended when you submit your registration card. In three years, most of you will be upgrading to another card anyway.

 

[CrackRabbit]

I had to bite, too tempting
Got it for 131.99 OTD, Got the second to last one in Portland, OR.
Now to get in on the hopefuly sub $150 X2 or C2D combo at Fry's on Black Friday.

 

[Rockhound1]

This is a very tempting deal. I already have a 7600GT so I think I will wait until the next generation of sub-$200 cards that will be DX10 capable are available. Thanks for the post!

 

[nyker96]

this seems pretty cheap considering 7900GS I guess 8800 is pushing prices down. However, there's tax don't forget.
