Sapphire Toxic

[spaceman]

Postin' this kinda early, since I don't have it yet, but I just ordered the Toxic! :D I'm not sure if they're ALL VIVO, but I made sure mine is. ;) Looks like a winner, at least it's geared for OCers, and has that nice silencer HSF. Anyone else have/getting this card? BTW, $442 @ extremegear. :)

The actual XT is $400 at dell man.

I don't see them listed under ati products, just the x800pro for $333, which is a good price.

[CrimeDog]

you have to go under the heath care section... i have one ordered but I doubt that it will come

the toxic looks very nice, but personally I hate air cooling and think you aren't doing these cards justice if you don't at least water cool them.

I saw the Pro for $333, and was pretty tempted. I sure never saw a XT for $400, or any price tho. :confused:

Why wouldn't it come? For those prices I am going to have to upgrade soon. Match one of those cards up with the new dfi mobo. Now if only I had some damn money...why isn't computer hardware free, greedy jerks :D

I found an ATI xt platinum for like $460 under healthcare, but not for $400...am I missing something?

[LilGator]

it was $416, guess the price jumped ?

[Blind_GI]

I orded two, I didnt get any confimation emails though :(

[Cow2kie]

Toxic is same as HIS ICEQ-II right???

Just in a freaky colour???

I went for the ICEQ from HIS in X800XTPE form... Its got more class... But im thinkin about water... And therefor just removing the ICEQ cooler anyway...

740$... hehe... Regular price here in denmark... Now stop whining about your money probs :D

Edit 416$ thats lower than a used X800pro here:slobber:

[gouda96]

cow2kie, your link no longer works. Blind, did you get your confirmations yet?

edit-> The ATI x800p in home & home office went from $333 to $360.

[spaceman]

Bah, those idiots at xtremegear don't even have them yet. It said in stock when I ordered, but now they emailed me that it's on backorder with no ETA. :( They did the same thing with a Powercolor VIVO, advertised it on Pricewatch for $399, but if you put it in your cart, it says Not in Stock, or something like that. :rolleyes:

[Blind_GI]

Nope no confirmation email yet, and I am not sure if my CC got charged yet. It said it will take 5-7 days to ship so im hoping by wednesday I hear something (all I need is to see my CC get charged).

[spaceman]

Hmmm, if you're gettin' 2, it seems the only fair thing to do, is give someone a nice deal on one. Especially someone who's recently been bamboozled. Especially if that person is posting in this thread. :D ;) Just kiddin' of course, I'll score one eventually. :cool:

[gouda96]

Were those crazy dell prices a sale, or a mistake?

[althes]

I doubt has them, so many people have ordered them there will be a backlog.

[WeaponX]

For those dell prices, you have to be a premier member, if not, I highly doubt you'll get by unnoticed.

Anybody ever deal with ecost.com? They have a bba X800XT for $450! Only thing is, it says ships in 10-14 days. :( It sure looks like they have good ratings, but I never heard of them. :confused:

[gouda96]

If i remember correctly they were good, but there was something about their shipping. It was either slow or too expensive. I might be wrong though, so wait for another response.

[spaceman]

Well, I Googled their ratings awhile ago, and didn't find much wrong, & plenty of happy customers, so I hit the buy now button. :) They have a $6-ish processing fee, but it's clearly stated right by the checkout, not hidden. Free ground shipping, but I kicked up the $9.99 for Fedex overnight. Total comes to $466.94 shipped, and BTW, it is a XT PE, says so on the pic of the box. :cool:

I think you should be O.K.

[spaceman]

Thanx. Like I said before tho, I already Googled them, and saw that. ;) Most of their prices are just kinda average, so I hope this doesn't become a "typo". :rolleyes: $450 ain't as good as the Dell price, but I'll suffer with it. :D

[slavik]

btw, I found one for 429 (very good resellerratings.com rating), 12.50 for 2nd day fedex :D

and then, my 9800XT is up for sale :D

EDIT: That was fast, it was already shipped!!! will be here monday the 23rd :D

That's a decent price for the toxic, but if it's the XT, you got a great deal. :cool: Edit: Nevermind, I see in that other thread. ;) The whole point of my sharing that info tho, is so you or anyone else can scarf a XT PE, for about $20 more than the Toxic. :D

[slavik]

thing is, the only xt pe I found were over 500usd ...

[slavik]

BTW, what is the flashing procedure?

and where to get the needed files?
