[fbrdphreak]

Super hot deal, almost posted it myself. Hit it!

 

[SpeedZealot369]

Wow, at that price there's no reason not to buy 2 and get aftermarket coolers for them.

Thanks OP

Well...maybe a case of the e-tailer sending the message of "hurry, hurry...they're gonna sell out at this low price..."! NOT

Be careful guys. 7900 has been a card with lots of problems. Get it from a retailer that offers good support like eVGA. It is quite possible that you may need an RMA.

 

[BIGFOOTPI]

I asume you mean get one from a MANUFACTURER (not retailer) like eVGA?
Theirs have some of the worst problems. Good support yes- but you will more likely than not HAVE to utilize it. I think XFX had alot of 7900GT problems too. Note both eVGA and XFX DO have lifetime warranties, but PNY is 1+2(after registering)

 

[Navid]

Yes, manufacturer tank you.

 

[kakarot420]

Use a $15 off $200 code as I did...came to $245 - 40 = $205!!!!

This is why i stick with BFG.... few more bucks, no more headaches....

I had to jump. The extra $15 coupon put me over. It is replacing a PNY 6800 that has been good to me and still plays almost everything. As far as warranty goes. I don't think I have ever owned a video card over 2 years so their warranty covers its useful life as a high end card.

 

[Smartazz]

Thanks op, I might get one or two of these instead of a 7600GT.

 

[kakarot420]

Looks like this particular card should have their Lifetime warranty... http://www.pny.com/support/warranty/?prod=verto

Am I wrong?

Yes but sadly according to PNY -> Lifetime is defined as the lifetime of the product on the market. Outdated technology is not covered by lifetime warranty if the item is no longer available on the common market as a new product.

Still a good deal OP!

Can you mix a card made by pny and one made by eVGA?

 

[Budarow]

For SLI? I believe you can. I think support for this was added with a newer driver version late last year.

It runs at the lower clock speed though right?

I believe that's correct. Just like Crossfire (and RAM modules for that matter) Anyone else care to verify this for Smartazz? I'm not up to speed too much with SLI or Crossfire since I don't really plan on using this option.

 

[NoToRiOuS1]

this is weird. the price on the site shows 259 but as soon as i add it to the cart it shows 279. wtf mate?

anyone else have this problem? what did you do to resolve it. i emptied cache, cookies, and everything else. that still didn't help.

edit: ok they seem to have fixed the problem now. the card shows up as 279 with a 40 rebate. sucks....i knew i shoulda gotten in on this deal earlier

oh well... i need the card right away so i guess ill have to splurge that extra 20

I know ati does that, if nvidia does it, it would be a shame having a heavily overclocked eVGA signiture series card paired with it.
