lovebears65 Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 ATI Radeon x700 Pro 256MB AGP Video Card - $99.99 AR Computers ATI Radeon x700 Pro 256MB PCI-E Video Card - $99.99 AR @ best buy
DaleRider Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 I haven't seen much this year, either. The ATI X700 Pro at BB isn't too terrible given it's a built-by-ATI card, but if you can stand a Sapphire or other ATI-partner brand card, they're $120 or so all day long at Newegg.....and probably cheaper elsewhere. (Bought my wife a smaller branded X700 Pro two months ago for that exact $99....not a BBATI, but it's working quite well and was $99 without any rebates.) The MX4000 is not too bad a price if you need a cheapie PCI card. CUSA's Radeon 9550/9250 is average, but then again, a PCI card. The GeForce 6200, if it's 256MB, isn't awful. The Radeon 9600 256MB is alright I suppose. The GeForce 6600 256MB PCI-e is an awful price.....runs $110-$120 all day at Newegg. There seem to be a lot of PCI video cards this year.....guess trying to clear out old tech. stock. A few AGP video cards, but their prices aren't that outstanding. Two PCI-e video cards and neither is a blockbuster price. Rather disappointed this year.......CUSA had a much better deal last year. C'est la vie. Seems to be the cheapie laptop year this year.
ismolika Posted November 21, 2005 Author Posted November 21, 2005 I am using nvidia ge force fx5500 , iam playing EQ2 and my desktop screen goes all bright when i play the game, Iam thinking of getting ge 6800gt if i can find a good price.But not PCI express.
ghort Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 The deals on BF are junk, you are better just to look at Newegg. The BB deal stinks as you have to shell out $200 to begin with and you can buy it for $130 and not worry about a rebate.

ghort Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 Nope, on www.newegg.com there is a Saphire x700 Pro for $132 plus shipping. Much better than shelling out $200 to begin with and a better card. And that is not a sale.
TheDude Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 I agree better, deals at newegg or chiefvalue.com
ismolika Posted November 21, 2005 Author Posted November 21, 2005 in that case ill prolly go with fx 6800gt. thats a nice card too.
xsiveone Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 I'm going to check Ebay after the BF sales for the ATI X700P. I'm willing to bet that they'll be a lot of people buying these trying to turn them on Ebay and not getting any more for the card than what it would cost you after rebates and tax ($115 for me).
KhakiBoy Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 I'm thinking about getting the Radeon X700 at BB. But as pointed out, it does suck that it's AR.
