Only $237 at allstarshop...http://www.allstarshop.com/shop/product.asp?dept%5Fid=339&pid=7433&sid=F817DUKT81798GAVA2QEKA1J2G05EK8A.

It's pretty rare that allstarshop isn't cheaper than all the other respectable shops for ATI cards.

Allstarshop has will-call as well for any people in the OC area. They're somewhere in Laguna Niguel or Aliso Viejo if I remeber correctly.

 

[edplayer]

do they charge extra for willcall like some places do?

OEM Cards scare me, as you've got no warrenty at all...

Not true...I think there is a 1 year warrenty.

Yeah 5 bucks. It's worth it if you're buying several items as I've often done before.

I think they stopped charging for will-call a while back. I haven't been charged the last few times, and can't find an item to add to the cart that doesn't say free will-call.

Price dropped again allstarshop.com has it for $232 and Newegg has it for $233, maybe by the time I'm ready to buy it'll be around $200 even.

 

[Hipd]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think these prices are for the Radeon 9800 SE. The cheapest I could find on both sites for the Radeon 9800np is $249.

 

[grabadude]

Allstarshop increased the price for 9800np back to $249 on Monday, I waited for it to drop some more but missed the deal and had to order from Newegg.com for $248 w/Fedex Saver and free Newegg Hat

 

[stoicchris]

seems like a winner

 

[yhelothar]

sapphire 9800np for $235 @ bananapc

 

[gothaggis]

what is the 9800np? non-pro?

 

[gothaggis]

oops, i see it is the non-pro. what is the difference between the pro and non-pro?

how much slower is the non-pro?

 

[dbz007]

How high are you guys able to overclock with these saphire 9800 np?
I'm tempted to upgrade from my 8500 but still delaying...

 

[Deafcon22]

woops sorry I didn't see that it was the se guys.

 

[exisle]

whats the diff between the se and the regular?

Clock speeds. 9800np ~ 9700pro
If you get one that has good ram on it you should be able to hit 9800 pro speeds with it.

se - uses only 4 (half of regular)
regular - use 8 parallel rendering pipelines

i have one. bought it from newegg.com sapphire 9800np with 3.3 samsung.
comes default clock at 340/290.
flashed to 9800pro bios, automatically set clock at 380/340.
i have it overclocked to boot up at 400/350.

very good card. the best i ever owned.

Find someone who needs a new dell and pay them to include the 9800np in their configuration, it's only $120. That's what I did, then I just gave them a $15 radeon I picked up at office depot.
