Unbelievable deal?

[Zour]

Hey guys I am looking into getting a new video card when I came across this site. http://www.tigerdirect.ca/. It looks good but the deal on video cards are unbelievable... I was wondering if you had any advice on this one particular one. The Radeon 9600XT

The prices are all in Canadian dollars too...

I'm not sure that I think this is a deal. The 9600XT is just so-so performer right now.

Check out these charts for some compariing:

Thanks, I have just been kind of lost in video cards since my local computer shop stopped selling them

Well that is natural human behavior, to want more what we can't get

(note on my link: while the newegg price is for Saphire, which is not as good as from ATI, it is still a 9600XT, but for a strait ATI, the price is alright, but not spectacular)

Or you can go for the X850XT PE which I did, only set you back +$400, but it rocks! And still topping the charts!
