Retail Radeon 9700 for $309

[colonblow]

I can confirm that this is indeed the built by ATI, full sealed retail box version, not an OEM or powered by ATI.

Great deal!

You guys are buying this card at the wrong time in my opinion. It just came out im sure its going to drop more. I would wait.

I don't consider paying over $300 for a video card a hot deal

 

[Fallengod]

Me either sgt. When the card drops to $100, then it should be posted in hot deals....

while i agree with you there, by your logic, you should wait forever because this cycle never ends.

ex. i have been waiting for GF2 Ultra to price drop at $100 range, then the GF3 shows up. I am now waiting for GF3 to be at $100 range, then the GF4 comes up. now i am waiting for GF4 to $100 range.. then the Radeon 9700 shows up. wait till it drops to $100... BUT by the time it drops to $100, bunch of new cards will come out and you will want them instead of 9700 card. never-ending story.

anyway, i think over $100 for a videocard is wasting money. now days.. videocard values drop so quickly that i can't even keep up with it without losing money.

spent $320 on my gf4ti4600 about 8 months ago. Now available for ~$210. I think it was worth it.

For me I do not wait till a card goes to $100...by then its way out of date anyhow...


I usually wait till it drops to the $200-220 range and I make sure I do my research and get a card that overclocks very well.

With my last card I got a Radeon 8500LE 64 meg card 14 months ago and slapped my own custom made heatsink/fan and ram sinks then flashed to retail and was happy as a clam hehe

You and Sgt are both just thread crapping, go away.

No they are not thread crapping, just showing thier ignorance, bump for a HOT deal.

Saying "I don't consider paying over $300 for a video card a hot deal" is thread crapping in my book when the retail cost of that card is $400.
