Visiontek HD4850 512mb

[Tempered81]

Card comes with a lifetime warranty & free $10 gift card when purchased. Use coupons to stack up & save even more, they constantly run a 10 or 12% off deal, and there's a 10% off mover's coupon. Good luck getting it for ~ $119.

Lifetime warranty as well! I see a picture of Mass Effect on the box, does the card come with a copy of MEPC?

Unfortunately, no

two of these kills a Gforce 280. Those 280 cards go for 400 bucks, so for 100 less you'd have the best bang for the buck and pretty good gaming rig on top of it.

I got mine for $139.99+tax in CA. They applied the $10 giftcard to the purchase, but it took a few weird steps. Hope this helps someone:

1) Initially ordered online for instore picked (just incase they might run out)
2) At the store, I tell them that my online order did not include the $10 gift card because it is for "in-store" only. So I ask if I could cancel my order and re-purchase at the store.
3) They offer to take the $10 off the card instead of giving me the gift card!

Yay for 139.99+tax.

Good luck!

I lucked out, I also got the head cashier to take a 10% off movers coupon... WOO HOO... I paid $125 + tax

And how did I know she was the head cashier you ask?

In for two (more). Grabbed two last time these were on sale.

I noticed that some of the boxes had added stickers on the left front of the box, for 3DMark Vantage. I'm hoping that those ones are new stock, and they they have the BIOS fix for the powerplay not working. Not sure about that though, just a working theory.

Aww man. I forgot about the mover's coupon too. Nice job on the price!

I stopped by the post office but the mover's package (dated to go up 9/1) no longer includes any Best Buy coupons.



Grabbed two though, my first non-nvidia graphics card since the pre-GeForce era.

Same, although they wouldn't let me haev the $10 Best Buy card and use the Movers Coupon, no matter how hard I argued. Needless to say, saving $15 now is better then using a $10 gift card later.

I just picked one up this morning for $143 after taxes and 10% mover's coupon... no AR required .

they didn't have it on the shelf... and I think this was the first time that I actually talked to a bestbuy employee when they asked if they could help me... I just said "do you have anymore 4850's"... he said they have them behind the counter... I normally just respond "no thanks" when they ask if they can assist me

I normally say no thanks to but I drove 30 miles, I took a gamble because their site said they had some in stock but once I got there, they had nothing on the shelfs. I even went as far as looking behind other cards to see if someone hid one first. Finally I bit the bullet and asked if they had more in the back and he came out with like 4. This is the first time I bought a video card that wasn't ordered online in 10 years. Last time it was a Velocity 4400 TNT 16mb and gave around the same price back then.

Long time no post here... Had a girlfriend! LOL!

Same thing happened to me yesterday and the kid came out with a few more... Last video card I bought at BB was in '98, and it was 16mb Monster or whatever the heck that co from CA that went out of business several years ago was! Huge card, same price and looked "sweet" for those days!

I'm lucky (or unlucky depending how you look at it) in that I pass 2 BB on my way too and from work... 3 if I want to make a five mile detour.... and I still normally buy my stuff online... but then this came up

Yeah LOL I don't shop at BB or local at hardly at all. I've only bought 4 things from them in 10 years. A 56k modem, a PC game, the TNT and now the HD4850. I wasn't even buying online at the time I bought the first 3 . Newegg might not of even existed? If they did I know they wasn't what they are today. But yeah even if I had 5 BB's around me I would still choose online because normally the prices can't be beat. But in the case they was because I hate rebates.

150 less 10% = 135 less $10 gift card = 125
