Newegg Deems X850XT PE a Collectors Item, Sells Them For $625USD

zekrahminator · Sep 18, 2007

With the release of powerful new cards from both ATI and NVIDIA, it seems we have all forgotten about the classic X8x0 series of video cards from ATI. It gave the old NVIDIA 7800 series of cards a run for their money, and gave people the most value for several years to come. Thankfully, famous American online retailer Newegg has not forgotten the wonderful X850XT. To show their appreciation for this noble video card, Newegg is pricing their last two at a price fit for a king: $625.10 + shipping. These open box HIS X850XT PE's are clocked at 540/1180 MHz, come with a whopping sixteen ROP's, and have 256MB of 256-bit GDDR3. Anyone hoping to get a piece of true PC history had better hurry up, as they will most likely sell like hotcakes at such a competitive price point.

Sweet I got 1 anyone want to pay me $500 for it?...lol Figured Id go a little cheaper as mine is a Sapphire w/ zalman 700CU on it, maybe I can beat the rush of purchasers to that deal!

Hey Zek ...that aughta make urs a sweet attractive deal!!!!

Kursah · Sep 18, 2007

I have a still running flawlessly ATI x850pro AGP that I modded to a full 16 pipe, full speed XT PE (Bios Flashed of course), slapped an AC cooler on it (silencer 5 rv.2 I believe). It only cost me $115 or $120 from that ATI Clearance a year ago! And $20 for the cooler. LoL!

That card is still probably my favorite for just how much tuning, tweaking and OC-ing it would allow. I'm looking forward to replacing my current x1950pro with a 2900pro (I knew they'd release it, just not as soon as I had hoped).

:toast:

It had sure better, I might get the $125 out of it that I wanted in the first place

At those egg prices you should just try to trade up to an 8800Ultra...lol

p_o_s_pc · Sep 18, 2007

i wouldn't pay that much for something like that history doesn't mean that much to me. If i was going to pay $600 for a video card i would get a 8800GTX and get a C2D.

erocker · Sep 18, 2007

You are a true "journalist" Zek.

sneekypeet · Sep 18, 2007

Got a question tho...whats the yellow clip near the AUX power plug...my Sapphire didn't come with that on it?

Kursah · Sep 18, 2007

Mine has it too..I don't remember exactly, I want to say something for their Avivo, I know if the card has Vivo or whatever it'd also have that yellow plug on it...but I don't quite remember...

sneekypeet · Sep 18, 2007

that does explain it a bit as I know mine has no VIVO chip on it!

JacKz5o · Sep 18, 2007

Id rather have an 8800 Ultra and $100 spare, thanks.

Never bought an ATI card in my life

The reason I bought the card was due to the craze a year ago with the Clearance sale and the possibility of flashing a 12 pipe 850pro to a 16 pipe 850xtpe, I couldn't pass it up. One of the requirements for a successful flash was to have the Vivo chip and yellow plug (or rage theater chip...can't really recall anymore). I lucked out with getting the vivo version and having one that wasn't laser cut on-die! Woot!

That card is in my G/F's PC and she uses it for gaming regularly. It still does a great job! :toast:

Now that's just sad, particularly on one of the most pro ATi forums ever.

In all seriousness though, the X850s were some good kit.

DRDNA · Sep 18, 2007

I luv mine too!! its still in my vapochill rig :roll:

but in all fairness >>http://www99.shopping.com/xPC-ASUS-X850XT-PE-RADEON-X8x0-256-MB <<<<$179

THE EGG IS OF ITS ROCKER

i_am_mustang_man · Sep 18, 2007

my x800gto2 is still up for sale for 80$ or whatever, and i haven't gotten any offers

wtf!! lol

goooooood luck newegg.....

trt740 · Sep 18, 2007

It have one in the drawer I will take 300 hundred for it anyone, anyone thats less than half price. What a great card and it will still play just about anything out.

[I.R.A]_FBi · Sep 18, 2007

and when i complained about the egg everyone bashed me ...

Basard · Sep 18, 2007

Godly...

I bought mine this past December, it's just an X800gto. Was hoping for a 16 pipe, but I ended up with an x800Pro core. If any of you with an AGP version want to pawn yours off on me, I might pay a fair price for one, since I'm upgrading to an Am2-AGP mobo here in a couple of days.

alias_1ab · Sep 18, 2007

i bought a refurbished sapphire x850xt pe card for $50 from newegg about 8 months ago. i would love to know what the idiot that eventually (if) buys that card is thinking. lol.

Grings · Sep 18, 2007

I've seen this in the uk a few times, not quite as extreme as that though, but who would buy either of these radeons:
