hmmmm... and where's the catch? ...

(and do they ship all over the world? :D)
That's the same price as a 6600gt. Too bad its agp, the mobo that I'm getting is pci-e. And Newegg uses Fedex to ship so I don't think they ship international. THey don't even ship to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or Alaska.
Yeah, only the US.. I love Newegg with a passion, they're amazing. I buy everything from them nowadays. :)

(maybe I should delete this thread before they sell out.. hopefully I'll have the money before they do :evil: )
I would probably sell mine at that price as well... so many damn problems. Nvidia drivers suport for the 6xxx series is just damn horrible.
Newegg are good, even better when you get your friend from america to buy the stuff and send it to u ;) .. even avoiding import tax.. lol
hmmm... sooo... my dear American friends from NGEmu.... :evil: ;)
ZipZoomFly usually has prices around that of Newegg. That is the only other place I would shop, they're prices beat Newegg sometimes, but not a lot of the time.
I think that's a secound hand video card
i'd buy it if I do not have one
Sweet video card. If only I had the money now... :(

(And someone to ship it to me, of course :p )
...its agp

*cue darth vader sound*

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
no money for such a thing. besides i'm waiting for something that runs much cooler than my videocard and runs about as fast, but no slower.

.. Nope. Retail.

They're out of the PNY card now.. the cheapest 6800 is the Leadtek, at $188. I'll probably buy this one some time mid next week. Hopefully I'll get a card that will unlock without artifacts..

oO i have a 6800 and i love it to death. the drivers are nice too.

and cooliscool, i have the Albatron one and i love it. i unlocked it and it works perfect :D too bad they dont have it anymore....well i got mine 7 months ago when it was $303 with shipping :rolleyes:
That's some BS.. they took that Leadtek card off their list. Not even sold out..
hahaha maybe it was a typo :p
heh, whatever, yesterday I changed my mind, now what I need most is bigger hdd (just ordered same barracuda as I have now, but 3 times bigger = 120 GB :) )
Well they have an XFX 6800 for $219 so I guess I'll be getting that.. or maybe an AOpen Aeolus 6600GT for $158 and some RAM.

Well i dunno, mine is filled with problems. All chached bitmaps (like windows desktop and some games) are all currupt, i had to manually edit driver .inf file so that it woudlnt use chached bitmaps. I almost need a diferent driver for each game. I have many BSOD when certain "effects" appear in games. Random lockups. Been a nightmare. But when it works it works perfectly :p

If you're still running 512 Megs of memory you'd be better off getting a 6600GT + more memory. IMO anyway. 512 is kinda stretching it and I havent been totally satisfied with 1 gig in EQ 2 or WoW.

Sounds more like hardware problems than driver problems too me.
