Well i ended up making my own PCI-E leads for my antec PSU i ain't buying or waiting for theres. It was a tight squeeze on the MATX board had to plug my HDD in sata 3 because plugs 1,2,4 are covered by the massive heatsink lol.
just got a 100FPS on firmark now just gonna compare 3d mark 06 to my 2600xt

post a pic in a bit
 
Cool story bro.

Firmark? Sounds cool, I can see all those pine leaves giving the GPU a good workout.
 
Yeah in-store prices are better than online prices for some reason have a phone around could have been a one off and i got lucky no hotlinking

thats the card the chrome heat pipes look the nuts btw

i ran a few benchmarks with it considering my cpu is probably bottlenecking my scoresamd athlon 64x2 3800+ overclocked to 2.3ghz
i got over 10 k on 3d mark 06
got 130+FPS on furmark
40-70fps on resident evil full benchmark +103 avg on the gameplay benchmark

it's a good card the x3terran conflict benchmark looked amazin with 8xaa 4x anisotropic,

at what res did you get those results, because even my 4890 can't pull them off @ 1920*1200
 
right, I'm off to go hunting... lets see if I can get the same steal... or something close :) congrats again man on the best deal I've ever heard of from a useless retail store :)
 
I had a very bad shopping day, the shop I was aiming for looking for the card was no longer there, nowhere else similar had a clearance area :( I was also looking for a game for cheap, and had even less luck :( MM it will have to be for me :)
