Knux Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 I have just got hooked up! Through several of my connections (none illegal btw...i think ) I am getting a Radeon 9700 pro for only $250.00 Retail box. Haha.... Sorry for being a jackass, but hey, you would do the same. But anyway, at OCsystems, i see several heatsink kits. Has anyone here tryed them? THey have 2 different ones custom made for the 9700. I would just like to know the difference between the 2 heatwise. -Knux building a brick wall...eep Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyroburn Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 oh wow what a good deal, *not* you know how drastically the 9700 is gonna drop when the fx comes out? and you know that you can get it for around the same price off pricewatch, and that is to your door looky 9700 pro so i dont know more power to you but wait till my fx stomps a mud hole in your 9700 lol, JK that is a really really really great card i hope you enjoy it, it will do you well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knux Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 Well, now i dont feel as good. FINE! See, i am a Nvidia nut, but my boss has had a voodoo 5 since it came out, which isnt a bad card, but he cant even run most games now cuz they dont support it. He's been buggin me to sell him my ti4400 for a long time. I told him no, enless i could get the best card on the market to replace it. Well, he talked to a buncha people and got the price down on this online shop he gets stuff from to 250, and then is givin me 150 for my old card. I really would wanna wait for the FX, but man, he just wont shut up. I figure, i can't pass up this deal, so i'm takin it, and I could always sell it for a reasonable price if the fx DOMINATES it, or I find it cheap. I dont like that im buyin a ATI card, but its the best right now, and I'll take it. -Knux feels like a traitor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyroburn Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 dont feel like a trator, becuase that card ROXXXSSS, i felt like a trador when i switched to AMD but i was glad i switched, and i completly understand your situation, and if you get a 150 for your card and you can get the 9700 for 250 jump on that stuff like a dog on a can of spam.

NyCUnDaGroUnD Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 yea i cant wait for 2 months until a . Sparkle geforcefx comes out that i know will do bad. So radeon is the way to go as of now but there will be fx upgrades for all of us in the near future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
