Dead: ATI (BBA) Radeon X1900 XT $412 - Crossfire $450 - XTX $487 AC + Tax at Dell SB w/ Free Shipping

Amazing that not a single one of these coupons has hit eBay. Is this the Yeti of Del1 coupons?

Man, I can never justify that price for a video card
Can get a XBOX 360 for that
Can get a PC for that ...

If I ever spend that for a video card I would probably end up playing 24/7

My email says expected shipping date is March 1st Hopefully its sooner than that

Can someone help me to make a decision? 530 for XTX is really cheap.

Does anybody know will this 1900 XT/XTX will work in Dell's Dim 9150? Thanks.

I only tested the X1800XT, but it worked fine.


Buy a X1900XT, then just flash to XTX.

this deal is pretty hot for those wanting to build their top of the line systems since this is the best card in the market as of today. although i am an nvidia fan, im pretty sure nvidia will come out with something better. new video cards arent really worth the price in my opinion, their values tend to drop quite often.

I heard that XTX can overclock up to 750mhz with watercooling, but XT cannot
That's why XTX is more expensive.

If you are not going to OC it, don't buy XTX because the different between XT and XTX is really small with stock settings.

where did you hear that?


here is the xtx rom-

r580.rom

make sure you have samsung 1.1ns ram.

just use winflash to flash your rom, takes all of about 30 seconds to flash.

If you still have questions, I dont recommend you flash. You are saying bye to warranty, etc.

If you can look at 530.00 for a friggin video card and say "wow, thats cheap", then I BEG for you to sit down and evaluate where you are in life and your position in it. I fear that you have seriously lost the concept of the value of money to a frightening level. Please, stop and gather yourself.

lol for all we know, $500 would be small change for some of thse guys... *cough* drug dealers *cough*

As for me, spending about $200 for a video card is already at the limits of my available spending. I dont make much money per month.

Onto the cards:

Awesome cards no doubt. They will blast out any games available and will be available for the next few months. Like all video cards though, they will be outperformed in less than a year's time.

I got in on this deal about 3 weeks ago when the 1900XTs just came out, and even though Dell said it was backordered and there was a 1-2 week shipping estimate, it shipped the next day.

Has anyone checked to see if the coupon works with anything else?

Please, quote me where I said that was cheap. I never said anything of the sort.

Cropping from a review.

Some advice, keep a couple of things in mind though:

You need to play games at the highest resolutions.
You need to have a need for playing with image quality settings enabled
You need to bare in mind that you need a screamingly fast PC in terms of your processor as a high-end graphics card needs to be bound to a high-end processor. I'm Talking Athlon 3600+ and upwards and Pentium 4 3.6 GHz as a bare minimum.

Do you not plan to fulfill all three of these requirements? For example are you intent/constrained to play games at 1280x1024 with 4xAA and 8xAF? Then please do not bother to buy this card. Stick with a Radeon X1800 XL, GeForce 7800 GT or anything in that range as the high-end graphics cards really require such a demanding environment to show off their fullest potential.

High end graphics cards have price wise moved into a price range where it's not accessible anymore for the guys that would really like to buy them. See there's a certain threshold that is constantly being moved upwards, and in all honestly here personally I would never buy a graphics card over 400 bucks.

Anyone know if the 35 off 300 coupon stacks with this?

Nevermind, it's for Dell Home.

I hope my 4800+ can handle it. I ordered the 1900 xt crossfire edition and the 1900xt.

Now who's buying my 2 BFG 7800GTX's and Asus SLI board? $900 shipped.

BTW, thanks for the review link. Good read.

where do i get one of these coupons? i need it like TODAY....haha

motherfu**ers at Dell SB keep sending me emails, but no codes. How lame is that.

Great deal, just need coupon. Please PM me if you have it and have no use for it.
