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

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.

man my X850XT PE Kicked ass - I came 2nd or 3rd in Guru3d's X8xx Hwbot graphics benchies - I think I got over 7000+ points in 3d05. I still got my X850XT PE. i cant part with it, it overclocks like a dream & its still able to play most games at a decent frame rate when overclocked

right now its sitting in one of my test machines which is missing some ram & hasnt been booted up for almost a year... its sad but I now longer need it as i got myself a PCI-E system

I have an original "built by ATI" X850XT PE AGP.
Much rarer and more valuable than 3rd party boards.
I will start the bidding at $1000.00 :D

I consider the X850XT Crossfire edition to be the rarest one there is, and I'm not selling it for a long time.
