Visiontek. The same company that went tats up and stiffed me on my $50 rebate for my Ti-4600. I really would hold my breath for the rebate that they are offering with THIS card. Really. I would.~S~BKIf at first you do not succeed ... Don't try Skydiving !!!

Some big corporation that said when they stepped in " We will make sure that all rebates and warrenties are honored " Then prompty NEVER replied to one single email or phone call about my rebate. Been 14 months now. I'm sure it's just that they are soooo lagged down with taking care of their O*T*H*E*R customers.***************************************************************"An Assignee / Trustee has been appointed, and will attempt to maximize the value of the company's assets.

My first experience with ATI was a bad one...didn't like em, and switched to a geforce 3ti 200.....was perfect.Have now built a new machine:AMD pc 3000 barton, 1 gig sd ddr pc400 ram in parallel ports, msi  k7n2 mb, and believe it or not, a ATI radeon 9800 pro xt (got it for the same price as the 9800 pro).  Was leary at first...a little glitchy (no driver support yet as the xt is so new), but now works slickRun FB in highest detail, at 1280 res.....runs absolutely beautifull.  This is my cadillac, and i love it!!p.s...thought it might help give me an edge, but alas, i am still points fodder for everyone!

LMAO Cuda!TX'ers, just FYI, last week I picked up a new eVGA FX 5700 Ultra at Best Buy for $219 + $20 mail-in rebate.    I'm pleased, it was a great replacement for my Ti4200.    30% less horses than the FX 5950 or upper end ATI's, at about 50% the cost.   I'm good for another year or year-and-a-half.TX-Deck out.

ahhh. . you may wanna take it back and check newegg.com. . .they have the FX5900 from Asus for 204.00 with free shippinghttp://www.newegg.com/click on the top blue button where it says "shop by category" scroll to bottom where it says video cards, then on the left select the desired chipset.Newegg is not always the cheapest, but they RMA like nobody else if anything happens to go wrong. . I ended up owning my Ti4600 for 10 months and in the end only payed 18 dollars  after it fried and they didnt have an exact replacement ;-)Leadtek WinFast A350 TDH-LX Nvidia GeForce FX 5900 with Twin Turbo-II 128MB DDR 8X AGP RETAIL Specifications: Chipset:NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 GPU Memory:128MB DDR RAM Bus: AGP 8X 400MHz RAMDACs Fill Rate: 1.3 Billion texels/ sec Pixels per Clock (peak): 8 Engine clock 400 MHz Ports: VGA + DVI + S-Video Retail box with Games and Software (see pictures for details) Model#: A350TDH-LX Special Free FedEx Saver Shipping S!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX Squadron XO
